A Thompson Christmas: Take a Photo with Santa

There is never a shortage of photo ops with the big guy this time of year! From HCC's Breakfast with Santa to Aglimmer at the Waterfront Gardens, we loved every minute of giving Mrs. Clause & Santa hugs, kisses, and Christmas wishes. Truly a magical time in our lives!

 

A Thompson Christmas: Sing Christmas Carols

Singing loud for all to hear is the best way to spread Christmas cheer! I love hearing my kiddos belt out all of the holiday carols~ it is heaven to my ears. We have the music going non stop throughout the entire season. So no surprise that this is a hot bucket list item for us! 

Salem was a star in her K/1 Musical, Elflandia. The cutest little play with the cutest little Elf in town. She was front row living her best life, and I was smiling & happy crying all the tears.

Our favorite carols of the season are those from the SMM Church Christmas Play. This year the kids were a narrator, wise man, shepherd, & angel. They did an amazing job as always~ taking their roles seriously and thoroughly embracing the story of the Birth of Jesus. 

By far, my favorite bucket list item that we do each year...truly remembering the reason for the season!

 

A Thompson Christmas: Create a Christmas Craft

We had such a fun time at SMM Santa's Workshop! From buying gifts for siblings to playing reindeer games, the kids had an absolute blast. They made a cute Christmas tree craft. They decorated cookies too. They played Santa's Mystery Game, and even got a picture with the big guy! To cap it all off, they had a crazy snowball fight with friends!
