We are getting excited to start getting into the Christmas spirit and with the help of pinterest we have lots of DIY activities planned! We are going to start a tradition of making an ornament for our tree each year and have been searching for some good ideas. So far sounds like something with pictures and clear christmas balls might be the plan :) I recently purchased a wooden Advent calendar and am excited to get it ready for December. We are working on teaching Kaiden the true meaning of Christmas and are going to start by placing a good deed in each door as well as a treat. We will have 25 good deeds and will be completing them each day in December (stay tuned for pictures). Our list includes (in no order as of yet):
1. Call someone just to say "I love you"
2. mail someone a special note
3. bring food to food bank
