Finishing our countdown

Clearly the downside of starting a countdown is that it is super obvious when you don't finish it.  So in an attempt at completeness I will continue with our last 5 days.

Day 21: no idea.  My word document says that we were supposed to make cookies and take them to neighbors, but we moved that up to another day.  So really have no idea at all but I am going to go out on a limb and say that it was a complete success. 

Day 22: Buy your sister's Christmas present.  We did this last year for the first time and it was one of the girl's favorite things to do.  And this year was no different!  Darren took Audrey shopping while Brooke and I ran some errands.  Then we swapped.  They loved it - both going by themselves and picking out presents for each other.  Though it totally cracks me up cause both of them pick out presents that they really want rather than what they think the other would enjoy.  And they both were very clear with each other that the presents were going to be some that they share.  Ha!  Audrey got Brooke a my little pony stuffed animal and the game pop the pig.  Brooke got Audrey the Barbie dog water park and an angry birds game.  They both really liked them - in fact they were so excited that they each opened one on Christmas Eve as their very first present!

Day 23: Make paper snowflakes - did not do.  We drove into MS this day and instead we went to see some Christmas lights. Which were AWESOME!  These 4 houses next to each other went all out - creating a light show timed to music that you tuned into on the radio.  It was so fun!

Day 24 and 25: All activities were pushed to the side as they had super fun with Grandparents and cousins!
