We did not do an alphabet letter this week.. Instead, we did a bunch of Christmas/winter activities. We did games and read lots of Christmas books. The kids had a really fun week as we prepared for the holidays!
We began with Christmas cookies on Sunday evening! They were delicious and nice to have all week long!
On Monday we did some winter paintings. Both kids really had fun with this activity!
We also did "build Santa" magnets on the fridge. This lasted for several days!
On Tuesday morning we made Christmas pancakes and used cookie cutters to make different holiday shapes!
Later that morning we played some games... feed the snowman was Kieryn's favorite...
The North Pole ring toss was Ronan's favorite...
Kieryn wanted a challenge so she went up a step after each time she made it.
Later we played trains and dress-up... couldn't resist... it was very hard to take Ronan seriously when he was showing me the cracks in the track...so stinking cute!
That night we built marshmallow snowmen for dessert... and of course, listened to the Frozen "Do you want to build a snowman" song as we did it!
On Wednesday we played a present memory game. Kieryn played this for a long time...
While Kieryn was at preschool, Ronan enjoyed a gymnastics class...
Then on Thursday morning we awoke to SNOW! Perfect for this week!
Kieryn was so excited that at 7 am she put on her snow pants... I tried to distract her from begging to go out with some snowflake hopping to Christmas music...
and a candy cane fishing game... but they were both short lived because both kids were super excited to go outside!
So by 8:00am we were outside playing in the snow. Surprisingly, both kids were having fun for just over an hour before they complained of the cold...
So we came in and warmed up with some "warm" chocolate and a snack...
and then later a snowman crash game. We used socks as pretend snowballs!
Sadly, that night, both kids were sick with the flu... so we had a very relaxing and slow Friday... Ronan needed both of his friends after such a rough night...
By that evening they were both feeling better so I surprised them with Christmas socks for some pretend ice skating and dancing... which turned into chasing... but fun either way. In these pictures, Ronan is trying to freeze me so I will stop taking pictures... so funny when they both do it!
We are very excited about our upcoming trip to Kansas! The kids and I will be there from 17-22. Kansas here we come!
