Chri-Skala-Mas

We have started a new tradition that we hope to carry on for many years to come. Welcome to Chri-Skala-Mas! For the next 12 days, we will have one activity each day to prepare for and get excited for Christmas. We made a countdown chart that Kelsey gets to tear off one paper from each day. Today was Day #12. Day #1 will be Christmas Day. We tried to mix up the activities with things that we have to do together as a family, traditional Christmas activities, and of course a present here and there ;) As our kids get older, the 12 days of activities will change and hopefully get to the point where it is more about giving than receiving.

Kelsey really likes the movie The Princess and The Frog, so she got a pair of Princess Tiana socks.
