The ABCs of Christmas

A is for Advent. I should have numbered this backwards, but either way be loved his "punch chart".
B is for Baby Jesus. 
C is for candy cane
D is for Decorations. B and I decorated cookies. 
E is for Egg Nog. No surprise here- B loves this stuff.
F is for fruitcake. B and I made a fruitcake. We each had a bite. We didn't save it! 
G is for gingerbread men. Who knew Peter was going to be the master decorator! Must have been the years he spent in culinary arts.
H is for Hot Chocolate. B walked me through the steps of making hot chocolate. 
I is for Icecle. We're still working on this one! We need it stay cold enough so we can make an Icecle in the backyard.
J is for Jingle bell reigns. Brannon drove the sleigh while we listened to Jingle Bells.
K is for King Herod. We made two crowns one for King Herod and one for Baby Jesus. I put on a skit for B about who the real King of the Jews is.
L us for lights. Of course this was one of Bs favorites!
M is for Mistletoes.
N is for Noel. (Pic to come). 
O is for ornaments. These aren't really ornaments. I don't read closely. They're picture frames and B wasn't able to do much, so the craft was a bust. But B has been playing with ornaments since Thanksgiving so O can still be for ornaments!
P is for presents. B picked out and wrapped presents for his aunts and uncles.
His favorite part was writing the To and From labels. Then he put them under the tree.
Q is for quality time. B went with Jammie and Grandpa Bo to sing carols at a nursing home. (Hopefully pics are coming).
R is for Reindeer. B and I made reindeer food out of oatmeal (a reindeers favorite snack) and gutter (so the reindeer can see the food).
S is for Santa Clause.
T is for Tree and Tinsel
Unity. We drove in the car and saw Bs favorite thing... Christmas lights!
V is for Visitors. We delivered presents with Santa for Ef Louise. It was pretty cute. B couldn't figure out where Grandpa Bo went!
W is for Wisemen.
X's and O's.
Y is for Yule log.
Z is for zzzzzz so Santa will come!
