Day 25 – Build gingerbread houses. This was a deviation from “Merry Christmas,” but it made a fun activity for the afternoon.
We started the morning with stocking opening.
Then, we had breakfast. I made monkey bread this year, which was tasty. (Check out Ellie in this photo!)
After breakfast, the girls swapped their gifts for each other first. They were both very excited about what they had gotten for one another.
Then, we took turns opening what remained. Even Pepper got in on the fun.
The rest of the day just evolved on its own. Grandma and Grandpa stopped by to see what the girls had received/given. They played a game of bowling with the new set of Switch controllers – a gift for the girls so 4 people can play at once.
We had one additional gift they had to complete an escape room to access. They had fun working through the puzzles to break the code. The prize was passports (in the future… we have to fill out the application and take the pictures, etc). They were excited about these even though there is no specific international trip in our minds.
We went for a walk on the bike path because it was actually kind of nice outside.
We ended the night with Elf, a great Christmas classic!
