Christmas Days 16-18
On the sixteenth day of Christmas, we went to a local pottery shop with Noah's friend Abby. They each picked one thing to paint. Noah selected a dragon, Wyatt selected a tank, Charlotte selected a Christmas tree, and Abby selected the word "Love".
Charlotte had excellent painting skills for a three year old and only needed minimal help with touch-ups.
Wyatt's concentration face.
And yes, Charlotte and Wyatt were still in their pj's from the night before.
Later that day, we prepped our gingerbread village for the next day's activity.
On the seventeenth day of Christmas, we decorated our Christmas village. Each of the kids picked a house and I did the fourth one.
The houses are (from L-R): Wyatt, Mom, Charlotte, Noah. My favorite feature was the teddy graham chimneys. Noah had a "gnome" house with a vertical roof, so he didn't have a chimney.
On the eighteenth day of Christmas, Charlotte's Little Sprouts class surprised the parents with a Christmas carol after their hike. It's hard to spot Charlotte, but she is wearing a light purple hat, directly to the right of one of the teachers. And she's smiling up at me instead of singing. That's my girl.
That evening, we painted light catchers.

Christmas Days 13-15
On the thirteenth day of Christmas, we mailed our letters to Santa.
On the fourteenth day of Christmas, we wrote Christmas cards for our teacher gifts.
On the fifteenth day of Christmas, the boys went to the annual Wreaths Across America event with scouts to lay wreaths at the nearby military cemetery.
Meanwhile, Charlotte and I went to a princess lunch at the culinary academy. We met Belle, Elsa, and Anna and decorated princess cookies. Charlotte dressed as Rapunzel, who was not in attendance.
Charlotte also got a goodie bag with cute princess-themed trinkets and we had a dance party.
Later that evening, we all went to a take a ride on a Holiday Train at the train museum. First, we toured the museum looking at all the old train cars and trolleys.
This train was built in 1918, the same year Great Grammy was born.
Then it was time to board for our journey.
The kids had on their matching pajamas.
The train was decked out for Christmas. They played Christmas carols, served us hot chocolate and cookies, and Santa came to deliver silver bells to the kids and mugs for the grown-ups.
We let Noah climb up to the second level for a little while.
