Christmas Activities

For the Christmas season, I had the kids all choose something they wanted to do as a family activity and we did it together. First, Deacon chose ice skating. We went to the Aerodrome and did our best at iceskating. Cavin was not a huge fan, but he did his best and was a good sport about it. 

We had a good time trying it out, but Ragnar was by far the most comfortable skater. 

Channing and Deacon both really needed to hold someone's hand.  We did really well together until the very end when all three of us fell flat on our backs! Ouch!

It was a fun experience and I'm glad we gave it a try. 

We also went a different night to see Zootopia 2 and to the Olive Garden for dinner. It was kind of a group decision on this one. It was a cute movie and there were lots of laughs!

Cavin wanted to do gingerbread houses. He is creative and likes doing those type of activities.

It is messy but fun! 

Channing and I also wanted to make sugar cookies, so we made several for Cavins friend party the next night. This was the beginning but both of these activities are so messy!

The next night Cavin did a Christmas light Scavenger hunt with his friends and they had a great time. They split into teams and found the houses on their lists. Then they came back for cookies and games.

I don't think I've heard 13 teenagers laugh so long and so hard for hours in a long time, but they seemed to have a great time!

Channing chose looking at Christmas lights and getting milkshakes, we didn't really take pictures of that. 

We had our ward Christmas party and Channing was an elf who helped Santa and we got to take a picture with him! 

We had a great month leading up to Christmas doing fun activities with the kids.
