25 Days of Family Fun

December! And so it begins... We're going to try really hard to do some sort of holiday activity everyday until Christmas and I'm hoping to share them all.

I'll also be making a journal. Here is the page I created for it, in case you want to make one. I'm going to stick the pages in a 3 ring binder so we can look back and add to it every year.

(Just click on the page, right click to save and print on an 8.5x11 sheet of paper.)

I'll fill each page with a little bit about what we did, any especially funny things Julien did that day and probably what book(s) we read. 

Also, holiday coloring pages and activities:
(Because some days just don't have time for a big activity...)

December 1, 2011
Seems like everyone went a little crazy putting up their decorations super early this year. We waited until the day after Thanksgiving, like always, because I was afraid I would get burnt out on all of it before we even hit December... but it's up and we started our holiday season with the Christmas parade. One thing I love about our loft is that most parades go down our street and we can watch from our window.

Julien wasn't too interested in it but he did sit in the window and watch it on and off. There were a ton of people out this year. The sidewalks were crowded for at least a half hour before the parade started. I think Julien's favorites this year were the bands.
