More Advent

These are some of the advent activities that we have been up to!

"Buy a Gift for a Friend"  We picked a couple of things off of our angel tree at school and Carter will take an ornament to school for an exchange.


 "Lights on Broadway"  This is one of my favorite Eagle traditions.  They have a parade and light up our main street, which is called Broadway.  This year they added a bonfire and live music in the park.  It is always a good time and this year did not disappoint.

It was very cold!  We all had many layers on...who does he remind you of?

 If you answered the little brother from the Christmas Story, 10 points!

 Only in CO do you have a hippy Santa!

 At the Bonfire with Juni!

 Broadway! 

This kid loves a parade.  He talked about it for days, even his teacher said he wouldn't stop talking about it.  We went to the Everything store later that week and he said, "Mommy put lights on your car for the parade!"


"Castle Peak Christmas Party"  Castle Peak always hosts a party at the bowling alley.  Carter loved the bowling and playing with Sawyer!

"Sing Christmas Carols" Jingle Bells and Frosty the Snowman are his favorite. 
I'm trying to get a good video, but he immediately stops when I get my phone ready.  This is the best I could do!

"Make Christmas Ornaments"  No pics of these, but lets just say, "Stop eating the glue," was a frequent statement!

"Donate Money to the Salvation Army"  He has been wanting to do this, but I never have cash.  I'm trying to keep a couple of dollars in my wallet so he can keep doing it.

"Color a Christmas Picture"  This was an epic fail that may have resulted in mommy being a little mad/pouting.  He hasn't been much of a colorer, but he got a Halloween coloring book that he loved.  I decided to buy him several Christmas coloring books and normal ones for Christmas, and of course he is back to wanting nothing to do with it:)  I tried several times to get him to color and this is what I got and about 2 min of his time.

I decided to just color my own picture.  I need to write at the top, Tiffany Age 32!

Decorate Christmas Cookies!

I had everyone over for the 2nd annual Cookie Exchange.  It was very fun and lots of cookies were consumed.

Carter has been waking up very very early.  He used to come to our room, but now he wanders around until we hear him.  This morning I found him with an empty decorating bottle and red sugar everywhere.

 All the cookies!

 Carter liked lots of candy on his cookie!

Lots of Fun!  Hope everyone is enjoying the season as much as us!
