Countdown To Christmas

In our usual fashion, when we do something, we do it big.  We had not one, not two but three Lego advent calendars going this year.  That's in addition to our regular one that the kids get dollar coins in each day to put into our Disneyland jar.

The kids loved opening and assembling the Lego of the day each night with Daddy.  This has been the kids first real experience with grown up Legos instead of their little kid ones.  The Star Wars set was the most popular because it had spaceships and cool guys like Chewbacca.

The kids are flying their spaceships around ready for action.

One great Saturday afternoon in among all the Lego action I had my new Cricut going with McKenzie making paper doll gingerbread men for all her friends at school.  This was a fantastic afternoon with the kids, one of those ones that makes you say it's all worth it.  Matt and I are truly loving engaging the kids in activities that we enjoy as they grow older and expressing their own personalities.
