Christmas Morning Treasure Hunt

We had a good Christmas here in the Denton home.  The kids were up around 6:30 or so and dug into their stockings.  Then it was off to open presents.  It was really fun to have Liam crawling around and getting involved in his first Christmas.



  After all the presents had been opened, we had a visit to our advent calendar from Lego Santa Yoda.  He put a clue in the last day that started the kids on a treasure hunt to find clues that would lead them to one last gift..

Here is the video of the hunt.  The clues are shown below in case you can't hear the kids.

Here are all the clues the kids found.


First clue (read best in your best Yoda voice).


This clue was in the Bible at Luke 2.


They found this clue hanging from the ceiling of the minivan.


The next clue was hidden in the microwave of Riley's play kitchen.
 

This clue was hidden in the chest in our front hallway. Sensei Wu is a Lego Ninjago character and "Big Head Joe" is a name that the kids gave a Star Wars Jedi character that has a cone head (Ki Adi Mundi for all you Star Wars nerds).
 

This clue was found hanging from the Lego figure of "Big Head Joe".


The last clue was hanging inside the clothes dryer.


So the final gift was a new Wii.  Our old one stopped working a few months ago and it made more sense to buy a new one than to repair the old one thanks to Christmas sales.  We got a black one to replace the old white one.  The kids were really excited!
