Advent Calendar days 18-20

December 18th we ran over to Prairie after Shawn got off work to get some last minute gifts so our advent activity turned out to be drive around and look at Christmas lights. Sorry the pictures aren't that clear, Shawn wouldn't pull over so I could open the window to take pictures. And, I don't have that great of a camera that can take good night time pictures. This house happened to be in McGregor and was much better than the picture shows.

December 19th we made a snowman pizza. It was supposed to be a Christmas tree pizza with the mushrooms as ornaments but it really is hard to cut out a tree and have it fit on our Pizzazz pizza maker and Shawn insisted I use it. 

My little helper liked the rolling pin but refused to look at the camera. 

So the mushrooms became buttons, eyes and a nose. 

December 20th we went Christmas Caroling. A few people I'm friends with on Facebook had an idea to go Christmas Caroling at our friends house next door since they've missed out on a lot of holiday cheer this year with their son being in the hospital. So about 30 of us showed up next door singing carols bringing my friend to tears. It was a cold winter evening and we all dressed up in our Christmas hats and sang 4 songs. One of the songs Oliver knew (Jingle Bells) and so he sang along and Shawn knew only 3 songs (he didn't know Hark the Herald Angels Sing.)
