1. Snow Days!
This year we got not one but TWO snow days. The first one in Nov dropped almost 4 inches of snow which is the most we have seen. We tend to get snow every other year but about 1-2 inches, enough to ice over and cause issues. But this time we had a good snowfall in Nov. Beanie had a blast.
2. Nutcracker ballet
It was our first time seeing the Nutcracker. I was not sure if Beanie would be able to sit though it all, but she loved it. She still talks about Clara and how she wants to be a ballerina. She takes ballet classes which she enjoys very much.
3. Holiday Lights
We did the drive through holiday lights as we did last year. We usually go on a weekday when its exam week, so it is never busy.
4. School Christmas Recital
Beanie had her fist ever recital. It was hilarious. She was so excited to the lead up. But once on Stage she did not do much and looked like she was being held hostage--lol. She barely sang the songs and did not do the actions. Interestingly when she came home she was singing on the top of her voice - sigh!
5. Santa (of course!)
We did pics with Santa at our local shopping center. We did Santa pics and had a hose drawn carriage ride. This year they changed the timings from 12-2pm to 6-8pm on a school day. Bad idea! It was dark and freezing cold. Next year we may look at alternatives.
6. Holiday decorations
We were very efficient this year. We had our Christmas stuff out during TG! Beanie was a huge help and pretty trimmed did the entire tree herself except the top. It was such fun looking at the ornaments and explaining where we got each from.
7. Home Depot fun!
We have been doing this since the Fall. One of Beanie's friends Dad told us about the Home Depot Kids Workshop. It is a free event that occus once a month. It is super fun and we have been going since the Fall
