What Was I Thinking?

I've created a monster -- it's me.  I thought it would be fun this year to do a "Countdown to Christmas" starting on Dec 1.  Twenty-four days of holiday cheer, each day bringing a new Christmasy activity, event or craft.  So come rain or shine, sniffles or sore throats, we are finishing this countdown!  Actually, it's been very fun for the kids and mostly fun for me.  The good thing is, I can change the activity the night before if I need to because they are written on slips of paper and put in an advent calender.  Which explains last week's "movie night"  followed by "coloring Christmas pictures", due to Daniel and I having colds.  Some highlights thus far have been:

St. Nicholas Day with Cousins

Reindeer Cookies

Santa Train at Irvine Park

Preschool Christmas Show
