Scarlet & Sophia's BIG List of Christmas fun! PART ONE

Dear Everyone,

Happy December! We love Christmas, in fact we have been singing "The 12 Days of Christmas" for weeks already! Here is our list of all the fun things we are planning for the next month. We thought it might be nice to share some our ideas, even though Mama says we might not get to do ALL of them, because there are SO many.

Decorations: We have already decorated our tree and this year we have a new tree in our room that is just our size. We also made paper snowflakes with our aunt, put up Christmas window clings with Daddy, and hung the stockings up by the fireplace! Here is a picture of us by our little tree with Leesia & Lilly! We decorated it all by ourselves and it turned out beautiful!




Wrapping Gifts: Yesterday we all wrapped gifts for our cousins and some of our friends. We have a big mountain of them! They make the tree look so much prettier! Here are all of our gifts so far, but there are many more to come. Don't you love picking out gifts and wrapping them? 


Christmas Crafts:
We tried a new craft this week....Christmas playdough! It would have turned out great if Mama hadn't tried to improve the recipe (she always does this!). We colored it red and green and added GLITTER and PEPPERMINT oil. It is very Christmas-y, but very messy! Lots of fun though!

Dear Grandpa Mark & Yaya,

Ho Ho Ho!!! It's Christmas Cookie season! Mama says we will be doing lots of baking over the next few weeks, but we just made some Christmas sugar cookies this week to practice. Mama let us add lots of sprinkles and then we made tiny cookies for Leesia & Lilly also! It was fun and the cookies were yummy!

Mama might have to back to the store for more sprinkles at this rate.

10 minutes is a long time to wait when you are only five years old.

Look at the cute doll-sized cookies!

Leesia said the cookies looked, "Splendid"

Lilly said they tasted, "Sublime"

Sophia agreed

Scarlet had one just one more

Tomorrow we will share our BIG LIST of Christmas activities so everyone can have some good ideas to do during December. We can't wait to try them all. Grandpa Mark & YaYa, we wish you were here! We hope your Christmas in China is very very Merry!

XOXOXO,
Scarlet & Sophia
