Christmas Fun...

Kacy and I LOVE doing Christmas activities with the kids leading up to Christmas.  We were a little slow getting into the swing of things and weren't able to do as much as we wanted to this year, but hey, that's ok!

Although there can be fights over the lollies, where to put them and who sits where, this is another tradition we love...creating a gingerbread house!

That afternoon, not in relation to Christmas at all, the girls decided on this business venture!! They sat out the front for a good half an hour waiting on someone to come by, but no one did :(  They were happy though and that's all that matters.  So darn cute!

Another favourite Christmas tradition is pulling out blankets and pillows and all piling into the lounge room for junk food and a family Christmas movie. I seriously LOVE doing this and who we do it with!

We tried a new activity this year...beaded snowflakes!  Both Kacy and I decided it's a keeper as it was so much fun sitting down all together and chatted with the kids as we threaded the beads on.  There were some really cute ones made including some that were loaded with ALL of the big beads! : /

As I look at these pictures it makes me realise that this won't be happening forever.  They are going to get older and not want to do cute little things like this anymore.  How sad!  However, hopefully the nature of the activities will change and we will still be able to continue this awesome tradition and help them feel the Christmas spirit.
