We started getting ready for Christmas the day after Thanksgiving just like always! It took us a little longer than normal but we finally finished after three off and on days of working on it. The kids are our tree decorators it seems to be a job they love. They especially enjoy putting up THEIR ornaments.
We have also been working off and on to make ornaments. We made some that you paint, others that are beads that you put into a shape and iron to "fuse" and still more that you use tape, glitter and glitter glue to decorate. The kids LOVE the crafting.
A few days ago Kayda was able to participate in the 2nd grade holiday concert. The entire thing was about Christmas. They had kids reciting "The Night Before Christmas" and added in familiar songs. The kids had motions to go with the poem and the songs. You can't see the whole group in this photo but Kayda is in the front right in her white dress with a red ribbon around her waist and a Santa hat.
Today we went to do a carriage ride and see Santa. We ended up jumping from one place to another to see Santa. We actually ended up at Home Depot, there was no line and he was a FANTASTIC Santa!
Due to the fact we were the only ones there he was able to talk to each kid individually about their Christmas wishes.
Now we are officially ready for Christmas!
