Winter Bucket List ~ Completed!

Here's the original post but complete with pictures and notes :)

We did all but 2 things on our fall bucket list ,there’s always next year to do the rest :)

And now,onto w*i*n*t*e*r…

• Drive around looking at Christmas lights IN our pajamas, WHILE listening to Christmas music AND drinking hot cocoa (this was hubbies idea.. .love him)

• Huge bubble bath (i put a ton of bubble bath into the tub but it never got bigger than this.)

• Give a secret gift to someone (We gave our pastor and his family a $50 gift card to a grocery store but it didn't quite work out to be a secret. More of a surprise gift haha.)

• Eat snowflakes as they fall

• Enjoy the simple pleasure of warm homemade soup
  
  (here is my favorite soup recipe!)

• Watch Elf (twice!)

• Read a Christmas book by the Christmas tree (I did read this book TO them, just had to take a pic first, haha)

• Go see a live nativity (we thought this would be an actual live nativity, but it was robotic, haha. Still neat though.)

I've already written a Spring bucket list and will post it in a few days!

He learned what the long sound of the vowels are. And that if there are two vowels in a word the first one says its long sound and we don't hear the second one.

More writing in cursive and learning capital letters-
