Christmas is coming to town!

It really is a fun time of year. Especially since I can use Santa to my advantage. As soon as the boys start to get into it, I just mention the name Santa, and the fight ends. Ahhh the magic of Christmas! Even for Humans!

The decorating fiasco began the day after Thanksgiving. My boys, especially Connor really knows how to use up all my ideas in a day and leave me boggled until the Holiday. I thought I really was prepared buying a bunch of $1 crafts at Hobby Lobby this year BEFORE Thanksgiving was over. Connor raced through each project in a weekend. Now he's asking for more... It's a bit tiring and hard to keep up with!

We have already done the following:

Put up the tree

Put up the lights

Put up all the decorations including stockings

Started 5 Advent Calandars

The Elf is visiting Santa every night

Got the Fireplace working

Made Homemade Gingerbread Cookies and House

Visited Santa






What's Left? Actually I'm pretty impressed with myself doing all this while 8 months pregnant. I really wasn't in the mood, but somehow my kids get me going I guess!

Tis the season!

Here's a cool website that's like an advent calendar, but it's activities instead of candy, and it has multiple ideas per day, and Coloring pages to print, etc. it's pretty cool!
