Maria loves keeping up with all her siblings. She’s a little ham with her antics. Maria really enjoyed eating all the gingerbread decorations! Her silly smile, with chocolate still on her teeth, says it all. We have so much fun with our little girl!

We started out 12 Days of Christmas the Monday before Christmas. Day 1 – make wrapping paper and sleep next to the Christmas tree. Day 2 – Christmas Eve Celebrations. Day 3 – Christmas Day celebrations. Day 4 – baking giant ginger bread cookies and having the Kanes over for lunch. Day 5 – decorating our giant gingerbread cookies. Day 6 – Saom Kaning Christmas Evening Party. Day 7 – Saom Kaning Christmas Celebration. Day 8 – Christmas Movie. Day 9 – Christmas Cutout Cookies. Day 10 – Bonfire. Day 11 – Christmas Concert. Day 12 – Reading The Worst Christmas Pageant Ever with cookies and chai tea.

So far I really like doing the Advent?Christmas season this way. It made Advent more peaceful and now there’s lots of fun after Christmas.
