Another tradition we are trying to begin is the Secret Elf Gift Surprise. Basically we get up on Christmas Eve and head out shopping with $5 in our pockets to use for another person in our family. This year we headed to Target and Owen surprised Katie and vice versa. It was really cute helping them find the right gift (one they would use, wouldn't be completely broken in one hour...) and one that cost the correct amount. Then we snuck out of the store and each at different times hid our gifts in the car. After we got home we hid them again and went on a hunt to find where they were hidden. The kids LOVED this and it gave them something to play on Christmas Eve.
After the kiddos found their Elf Gift we headed outside to play and it was bunches of fun! We'd definitely do it again!
Katie gave O a new bat and ball and we played baseball for quite a while!
I love these photos of our All American. I couldn't just pick one. :)
And O surprised Pips with a hula hoop!
She was outside practicing her skills to hula and found out she could use the hoop to also dance around learning some new moves. And even today she has gotten out her hula hoop and used it for some creative play time. Horses jump through hoops right? :)
Love you creative bug!
