Day 5
My kids know they get gifts on Christmas and like all self respecting children, they are excited about it. Yesterday, in light of that eventuality, we decided to go into their bedroom and fill up a white trash bag for give away. My daughter is attached to what she has so I am always proud when she chooses on her own what to give away. She came up with a pile, I threw a couple things in on the sly and we put our bag into the car for good will. A very respectable way to prepare for Christmas.
Day 6
Nothing like construction paper, scissors and glitter glue to have some fun by. A trip to the Dollar Tree this afternoon for some cheap supplies and we were all set to make snowflakes. (that is, after we stopped by the grocery store for some honey eggnog which is amazing). The goal was to make some fun Christmas decorations to hang around the house. What I didn't realize going in was that there is actually a skill required for making snowflakes out of paper. Who knew. I figured just fold the paper and cut. No, I had to elicit the help of Google on this one.
Even then, my snowflakes were sub-par at best but my daughter said "these are beautiful mom". Cousins came over and we had fun.
