Day 16

On day 16 of the 24 days of Christmas the girls dipped pretzels in chocolate and decorated them for their teachers. They had so much fun doing this and I really didn't have to help them very much. They loved putting sprinkles on them and enjoyed licking the chocolate off their hands.
We even invited a friend to help out. Just look at the smiles on their faces .

Day 15

On Day 15 of the 24 days of Christmas we delivered treats to a few people. We sang "We Wish You A Merry Christmas" and spent time talking with some of our favorite people. It was a lot of fun.

Day 14

On Day 14 of the 24 days of Christmas we had hot chocolate and read Christmas books.
Alexis enjoyed playing with Santa nesting dolls while Ryan read the story.

I made a delicious mint and dark chocolate hot chocolate but of course the girls just wanted regular Swiss Miss. I also made homemade whipped cream. Yummy.

We read "The Gingerbread Man" and "The Night Before Christmas". We had a great time.

Day 13

On day 13 of the 24 days of Christmas we got out the old Christmas home videos from the last 3 years and watched them. We watched our Cardon Christmas Eve nativities and it was so much fun to see how the kids have changed. It was also great to see the girls reactions when they opened their Christmas presents. The girls loved seeing themselves on camera. It was great to reminisce and enjoy a quiet evening.

Day 12

On the 12th day of the 24 days of Christmas we made little Christmas pom pom crafts. It was a little more difficult than I thought it would be and they didn't turn out as great as I would have liked but the girls enjoyed themselves.

Day 11

On day 11 of the 24 days of Christmas I had planned on watching a movie in our pajamas and eating popcorn. After a long day of traveling the girls were not on their best behavior. They were fighting and were in a bad mood. After telling them what movie we were going to watch I did not get a positive reaction so I decided to cancel it. The girls were upset and my feelings were hurt. I guess no one was in top form that night.

Day 10

On Day 10 of the 24 days of Christmas the girls made Thank You cards for Grandpa Ferrell. He is so great and we are so grateful for him and his generosity. Thanks for this wonderful trip Grandpa Ferrell.

On our last day at Disneyland we left Alexis and Ryan at the hotel and went with the rest of the family to Disneyland and California Adventure. I didn't take as many pictures the second day but here we are on "It's A Small World". I love this ride when it is decorated for Christmas and I love singing along to the Christmas songs they play. We went on lots of rides and were tired by the end of the night. I think the girls could have kept on going but I was definitely done especially since it started to get crowded. I couldn't wait to get back to the hotel to relax.
