I have introduced this tradition to Adam (I couldn't believe he didn't know what St. Nick day was!) and we decided to carry it on with our kiddos. This was the kid's 3rd St. Nick day and it was a hit!

St. Nick Day!
As a child, my siblings and I always anticipated Dec. 6th. We would wait for a loud knock on the door and run as fast as we could to try to catch a peek of "St. Nick". Although we never caught him, we did always find a huge bag full of snacks, coloring books, and small toys! It isn't like Christmas- no big gifts; just small, fun surprises!

Breakfast with Twinkle the Elf
I bought "Elf on the Shelf" this year and we introduced him to our family this morning! Makaylin named him "Twinkle" and is having fun with the whole idea. She was a little hesitant at first, but she's warming up to it. I'm not sure that she understand the concept 100%, but it's going to be such a fun tradition for us in the years to come!
Of course, we welcomed Twinkle with a "North Pole Breakfast"; an idea I found on Pinterest. Adam and I got everything ready last night (after an OSU Bedlam WIN/Big 12 Champs!), so the kids woke up to a super fun breakfast this morning. We had "snow covered" donuts, "reindeer kisses", and "snowman soup". It was so much fun and the perfect way to start our Sunday. I can't wait to do it again next year!

My Little Sous Chef
This morning I was prepping for our big Thanksgiving dinner so I didn't have so much to do tomorrow morning. I decided to make the chocolate butterscotch pie and deviled eggs today and leave the rest for Thanksgiving morning. Makaylin was all about helping and did such a good job!

Skittles
... because every kid wants a pack of skittles to make patterns. She had no interest in eating candy- just sorting and making patterns!
Trick or Treat
I'm a bit late on the Halloween blog posting train, but better late than never. To sum it up- Ryker lasted about 2.5 seconds and Makaylin was ALL about "more candy!".
