Happy 1st day of December! Only 24 Days left until Christmas! Today was one of those perfect "stay at home" days. Ben was off, we slept in, snuggled with Evie and Annie, did laundry, put up the Christmas lights, etc. Most fun of all though, Evie was FINALLY able to open a door on her countdown calendar!
Oh boy, look at that kid, she's not excited at all (hint of sarcasm)! Along with the chocolate treat inside the calendar, Evie received a little note which read, "Only 24 days left until Christmas! Tonight we will make milkshakes and watch Elf!" She was really excited, seriously it's Elf and milkshakes!
Would you like to make our family's favorite milkshake? You will need...1) A lot of scoops of chocolate ice cream
2) Enough milk to cover about half of the ice cream
3) Maraschino cherry juice (about 3-4 TBS?) toss in a few whole cherries too
4) Chocolate syrup (drizzle all over)
5) A blender to blend, blend, BLEND!!!
It's not an exact science, I just visually know what proportions make it perfect for us! Enjoy and Merry Christmas!

Adorable !!!!!!!! So fun to see the celebrations of Christmas thru a child's eyes...And then as they get older, when they truly realize what Christmas is really about. How God made a way for us....Right now, they understand it is a season of celebration with all the bright lights and sounds. And rightly so!!!
Joy to the world and us too. Marlene
