Dash has slid down the banister
This morning we woke to a scavenger hunt
I must say Lynden surprised me; he knew exactly where to look for every hint Dash left. I thought the last two hints would stump him; "I wish I could have gone to preschool with Lynden" (Lynden's backpack) and "Look in some of your favourite hiding spots while playing hide and seek" (under Alyssa's crib) - Lynden got both at once.
The final surprise?
Christmas pajamas!!
Lynden's looking forward to having Santa come tonight, even though it means Dash is going home.
From my family to yours, Merry Christmas!!
oh what a GREAT idea with the scavenger hunt!!! LOVE IT! I have to remember all your ideas next year.. i can't believe i was so lame and uncreative.. merry christmas!!
ReplyDeleteI knew it was something I wanted them to do - I didn't do a lot of what I wanted. Lynden was so excited and it's fun to make them work for a gift ;o)
DeleteWhat a wonderful Idea!! this was my first Christmas with a little person I will be doing this in the future!
