12 days of Christmas

Today we start the 12 days of Christmas. The traditional 12 days of Christmas starts on the evening of December 25th and finishes on January 6 BUT we do things different here. We are going to start it today & END it on Christmas. This is a fun way to enjoy the holiday season & do a little countdown with the kids. Often times in the days leading up to christmas we are so busy it is hard to enjoy the season. we will do some activity everyday for the next 12 days :)

paper mache boxes

Today was super fun! Jake was Student of the Week at school so he had many highlights throughout the week. Today we all went up to school & taught his class a christmas project. We decided to do these paper mache boxes. We covered them with Christmas papers & they turned out super cute. jake felt so important teaching the class how to do it & was very good to explain everything step by step. keegan went around making sure everyone was doing it as jake had instructed. brock had a blast & kept taking the glue sticks off the desk. jake was so proud his whole family came up to his class for this activity.
