2009 LEGO City Advent Calendar

Mason and his Lego Advent Calendar

This Christmas we are going to do a 2009 LEGO City Advent Calendar. Mason has started to like Legos and thought this would be a fun way to teach him about Christmas.

Will post a photo daily.

Well the post daily didn’t happen, because life happens but here is the completed set!

Mason LOVED this way of working up to Christmas! Thanks to all who enjoyed playing along with us. Merry Christmas!

Christmas tree

Christmas tree Macro

We decorated our Christmas Tree this past Saturday.

Chris was visiting from California and Mason really wanted to decorate for Christmas so we thought we would do it while he was here. Matt’s parents came to help and have fun as well.

While I like the tree decorated, this photo is my favorite from the day. Its still so simple and natural.

We ended the day with yummy baked apples a la mode courtesy of Matt.
