25 Days of Christmas - Day 5

Activity of the Day: Christmas Craft

The actual activity was suppose to be pictures with Santa, but you were not having any part of that idea and I figured that Vaughan wasn't going to cooperate either. So to save myself the fustration in the middle of the mall, we decided to head over to the Reynold's for a Christmas craft and some dinner.

We made wreaths with tissue paper. The directions were to use the eraser end of a pencil, place it into the middle of the square of tissue paper and draw the sides of the paper up and use the covered eraser to dip into the glue and press onto the wreath. Well, you deemed that too much work and decided to take each piece of tissue paper, ball it up and dip it in the glue and place it on the wreath. I guess you decided that it would be more efficient and take less time to do the craft your way. Way to find the short cut.

Activity of the Day: Christmas Movie and Slumber Party

It's always a special treat to be able to have a slumber party with Mommy and Daddy. Something that you LOVE to do. Tonight, we watched "Charlie Brown Christmas" and you crashed in our bed. Unfortunately, there is no picture for today. I tried to figure out how to use the timer on my camera so that I could be in a picture and after several minutes and attempts, Vaughan decided that he was too cranky for pictures.

25 Days of Christmas - Day 1

Christmas is not only about presents but the activities that create memories that last a lifetime. I borrowed the idea from "Moms on The Go" (Moms Group) of using the advent calendar to post a daily Christmas activity that we will do beginning on December 1st. You will once realize that this is no easy task but in the end, it will be ALL worth every effort.

So on December 1, 2009 you went to the calendar and pulled out the card that read
"Go shopping for your annual Christmas ornament".

You selected Princess Jasmine, Vaughan immediately picked the frame with all of the sports balls on it, and you picked out the one for Bentley. Definitely a perfect selection to demonstrate both of your interests this year.

Happy Thanksgiving 2009

The Tuesday before Thanksgiving, we headed down to meet them Roe's at the Rodriguez's. Not sure how Lory, pulled it off without stressing, be she was able to entertain 6 adults and 8 kids for 2 days.
