Day 18 – Elf movie at Canton Palace Theater…. we like to watch Elf every year, so I thought we would view it in a different way this year. The girls were slightly suspicious since I wouldn't let them watch it for nights when they asked. But I think they were okay waiting. The theater was a fun way to watch it. There were no previews just a man on a magical organ and some amazing clouds.
Day 19 – Dip a treat… dipped some delicious pretzels for our teachers. And the girls had made creative cards on the Canva platform for their teachers as well. We did it with masks on since we were all feeling a little under the weather.
Day 20 – Make something aromatic… we tried our hand out shower discs – baking soda, cornstarch, and water baked in muffin tins, and then add essential oils. We will see how they work out later.
Day 21 – Stuff and Stamp Christmas letters… I have all the things to do it, but we haven’t made time for it yet. It is a pretty quick task when we all work together.
Day 22 – Pizza and game night… We invited Jen, Arturo, and Grandma Yoh over for this one. Ordered East of Chicago subs and pizza and played four animated rounds of Christmas Scattergories. It was a lot of fun!
Day 23 – Make Starbucks drinks…. this is today. I have a couple options and we will see what they choose.
A few other fun things..
Christmas dress up was the last four days of school – pajama day, accessory day, Christmas movie character day, and anything Christmas. For Christmas movie day, my co-workers and I worked together to make the Grinch – Kendra = Grinch, Christ = Max, Me = Christmas tree in Whoville and every house. While I didn’t wear it all day, it did elicit a lot of smiles from kids that morning which made it worth it.
On our first day off of school, the girls decided to make a blanket fort. It was bigger than when they were little and more involved, but it reminded me so much of their younger days. It was fun to see them have time to play.
