Brrrr! We are staying inside these days because the freezing wind up here in Buckley is too cold for us! Jaxie pretty much stays in front of the fireplace 24 hours a day (clearly, she lives a difficult life) and Dan and I keep Ellie busy (or rather, she keeps US busy) with lots of holiday crafts, games, etc. Our favorites lately are making Christmas wrapping paper and homemade gifts, "camping" in forts, preschool activities (Ellie LOVES to trace, write letters and numbers, and has even started some really basic reading! HOORAY!), and of course playing "mommy" to all the baby dolls in our house. We also finally finished up our decorating! The house looks so festive with beautiful garland on the staircase and over the front door, candles lit, and of course our RIDICULOUSLY enormous Christmas tree. I can't help but laugh every time we look at it. Certainly a memory we will never forget. Anyway, here is a mishmash of pictures from our days here at home. Enjoy!
My little student.
Did I mention our tree was a bit large this year? :)
Such a great helper to Mommy and Daddy
Cookie in one hand, ornament in the other. Atta girl!
Helping Dan with the garland...actually, just eating snacks. It's a mystery why she can't keep her pants from falling off her tiny butt when she eats as much as she does!
Checking the advent calendar!
