We have a number of Christmas traditions at our house. On December 1st, our Elf, Frisbee, arrives from the North Pole. He does fun things and brings fun gifts over the month before he heads back to the North Pole on Santa’s Sleigh on Christmas Eve.
On the first day Frisbee left a letter for the kids and some new Christmas books
The next day he set up everything for the kids to write their letters to Santa!
Charlotte immediately started a letter to Santa!
Frisbee enjoyed hanging out on celebration ornament one day. We hang this ornament on the tree in years that we beat Auburn.
We were surprised to find Frisbee in Memma and Papa’s bed one morning!
And can you believe he was trying to eat the M&M’s!
Even though they can’t touch Frisbee, Charlotte had no qualms about touching the nativity pieces so that they were looking at Frisbee instead of Frisbee looking at Baby Jesus like he was when we found him that morning.
We found Frisbee one morning relaxing in one of Memma’s big jars!
And Frisbee put Papa’s National Championship rings on and hugged the crystal footballs one morning!
I didn’t do as good of a job taking pictures every day of Frisbee this year but these were some of our favorites!
This year we got to attend the annual Grinch Party. It includes a reading of How the Grinch Stole Christmas and was a very interesting experience!
Charlotte helped make red velvet cupcakes for Jesus’ birthday! She requested the red velvet cupcakes but was a little concerned when the batter got so red while she was mixing!
Some other traditions that we continued were reading the Christmas story from Luke as the only story before bedtime on Christmas Eve. We filled Operation Christmas Child boxes. We got Christmas cards printed with a note that we were praying for the recipient and sent them with our Christmas Child boxes and to our Compassion kids and mailed the others to soldiers overseas.
