Christmas Scavenger Hunt

 

At 7am an excited group of kids came and woke up Mom and Dad for Christmas morning.


The kids had fun with their stocking gifts and were ready for the Christmas game.


This year, the Christmas game was for all 4 kids on their present hunt together.


They did a great job solving clues and finding the hidden presents.



It was good to see James becoming more involved in the game.



They were in the front, in the back, and outside.

Solving a cipher.


The greenhouse clue was in all emojis.


Evan and Hailey were the main clue solvers.



This combo lock was the first clue to finally stump the kids for a bit.


But they figured it out!


Presents disguised as a stack of books.


Sometimes the kids went to the wrong spot before they figured it out.


Another lock box puzzle to solve.


Found a present out in the garage.

This final clue was the most challenging for the kids to figure out. Maybe all the colorful squares threw them off.

But, once again, they figured it out!

Now for presents!

James was excited to get more Lego accessories for his Lego battles.
