#6. We wrote letters to Santa. We had to write to Santa of course. The kids had fun with stickers and different color markers.
#7. Decorate the tree. I think every ornament that the tree could hold is on our tree. It looks beautiful!!!
#8. Buy a new decoration for the tree. Every year since the kids were born we go to some store and pick out an ornament that they like and somehow relates to that year.

| Wyatt chose Darth Vader. He discovered Star Wars this year with a LEGO Star Wars book he found in the library. Vader seems to be his favorite. |

| Meredith discovered Scooby-Doo this year. And it reminds her of her friend Ryland from Jacksonville. |
#9. Get a Christmas Card Picture - This year I thought about lots of different themes, but finally chose the GATOR CHRISTMAS theme. After all this is our first year as a family in Gaineville.
#10. Make shaving cream snowmen. This is our second year with this activity. This year Meredith was able to handle her own jar. Wyatt still needs help, but we had some much fun with it - he did not seem to notice.
#11. Go see Santa. This year we went to a local festival where we got a chance to see Santa arrive in a helicopter. It was quite the cool spectacle. Santa on a helicopter. Wyatt wanted to know why he did not arrive in a sleigh, but that was easy, the reindeer would get tired so close to Christmas.
#12. Buy new Christmas PJs.
#13. Make a Gingerbread House. This year we got a kit for a Christmas Cottage. It looked quite the same as the Gingerbread House kit as last year.
#14. Make gifts for neighbors. The kids and I made caramel popcorn. It is one of those recipes that we love, but takes hours to finish, so we only make it once or twice a year. And I make caramel popcorn MUCH better than cookies. Than we took it to our neighbors (the ones we know). After four houses - which is everyone we know so far in the neighborhood - Wyatt did not want to go back home he wanted to go to more houses, much like trick or treating in reverse. It took me a while to convince him that we did not have enough popcorn for everyone. http://allrecipes.com/recipe/caramel-popcorn/
#15. Check out SEA WORLD Christmas. Really impressive - shows and decorations.
