My Christmas

We tried to make Christmas pretty special for the girls this year. I wanted to do something Christmas-y every day leading up to Christmas Day.

It kind of worked. . .

Monday--- we made cinnamon/applesauce ornaments. Only two ingredients + cookie cutters = wonderful time for both mommy and kiddos. AND they smell delicious! I totally recommend it. . .

Tuesday--- we sang carols together as a family (you know, the 3 my kids recognized at least)

Wednesday--- we invited Amber and Talon over for dinner and candy houses. It was a time for creativity, for yummy candy and for FUN!

Thursday--- we visited the doctor and found out Carina and I had strep throat. Yuck! Awful! I was highly contagious so I quarantined myself to my bed and the girls watched movies all day. We were a bit more festive by dinner time and watched the Muppet Christmas Carol together. --Good news, nobody else got it! Whew!

Friday--- Christmas Eve! We cleaned our house and did a lot of disinfecting cause the fam was coming to town.

Saturday--- HOLY SMOKES, LOOK AT ALL THOSE PRESENTS! After unwrapping them all we played games the rest of the day (#1 present for me) and played with lots of toys.

Hope everyone else had a Merry Christmas too!!


Here are a few pics of our candy house experience. ( I forgot to take the camera out till after Åmber and Talon had left. I'm a dork) I also didn't take my camera out at all on Christmas day. I'm seriously a dork)





My masterpiece: gobs of candy
Mike's masterpiece: The Space Needle

  1. I'm glad you didn't pull your camera out until after we left, our candy house was pathetic. Tell Mike that I like the way his outhouse, I mean space needle, turned out!
