Day 7: Parents Night Out- the boys had a great time making Christmas necklaces for me, playing with the big kids (teenagers), and having sweets and popcorn while they watch a movie.
Day 8 & 9: started having contractions so I have slowed WAY down. I stayed in bed the rest of the weekend. Michael continued with the countdown trees and Holiday books and Scripture Chain.
Day 10: Still taking it easy, but we managed to make a Christmas Tree. We cut, ordered it to size, glued, painted, and accessorized the tree. It's Fine Motor Boot Camp, y'all!
Day 11: Open a new Nativity SetThe Boys got home from school and were jumping up and down to have a new "bible set!"
Day 12: We made a torn paper snowman. We traced, painted with glue, tore paper, glued, and cut. Like I said, it's fine motor boot camp and I'm a mean drill sgt! ;) Actually, they are enjoying the art ( the boys really do.not.like to do art stuff.) and really sharpening their skills.
Day 13: Surprise! Starbucks run for hot chocolate and cookies. Surprise! Go look at Christmas Lights. This one house had every inch of their entire yard lit up. We called it the crazy house. Dylan always was on the lookout for Baby Jesus. Brody thought all the houses with multi-colored lights looked like Gingerbread houses.
Day 14: Christmas Shopping with Dad and Christmas Program at School
They did such a great job! Some how my kids have grown up and become the "big kids" on stage. When did this happen?!? How can they be almost 5!?!
Day 15: Michael's Christmas Party & Christmas Shopping for Dad
Our chain is getting smaller and the pile of books under the tree is getting thinner.
The advent trees are filling up.
Christmas is almost here!
