Holidays have been so much fun this year with Avery. She really gets into them lately, and I just love seeing how excited she gets celebrating. Over the past month, we've been doing little "Christmasy" things around the house.
We decided to get Ave a nativity set that she can play with so that she can understand the Christmas story a little better. Since she can comprehend things much more than last year, I wanted to make sure that we were not emphasizing Santa too much and the real reason for the season too little. We gave it to her a couple of weeks ago, and she loves playing with it! It's so sweet to hear her explain who everyone is and play with all of the people and animals.
We had to do some Christmas baking, of course! Jackie made this sweet Christmas apron for Ave so we put it to good use making cookies.
While they were baking, we did a little sticker nativity scene that I found at Hobby Lobby. She has a slight obsession with stickers so I knew she would love this!
We also made some Christmas cards for the grandparents and Daddy.
Ave got a little cold last weekend, so we decided that we should make a Gingerbread house while we were stuck in the house. It got quite a lot of germs all over it during the process due to coughing but that's okay!
We've done a little Christmas show watching as well!
Bill's birthday was two days ago (the day before the world was supposedly ending). He took off work, and Ave was at school so we did some last minute shopping and went to lunch. Then we celebrated with our girl at home that night with a cake that his dad brought over.
Christmas has always been so much fun but I have absolutely loved the days leading up to it this year. Avery is so very excited, and it makes the holiday that much more fun!
