The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 10

Today our special thing was very simple and easy and especially good for me as I tried to wrap gifts and finish up the trees. The kids watched Frosty the Snowman and had popcorn. Simple, easy and fun for them as we watch very few movies. Since I didn’t take any pictures of the kids today I will post a couple of pictures of Evelyn and Liam. They are always around the tree when they visit and according to Evelyn our tree is beautiful – and she tells me every single time she comes over.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 9

Today our special thing was unplanned, but very exciting to the kids. We knew it was supposed to snow but I don’t always believe it when I hear it. We really don’t get that much snow here. So, today when it started snowing early in the morning I knew I needed to run out and get gloves and boots. Of course, I knew they would all be gone and I was right. I got all the gloves I could find and it did not matter what size and same for the boots. Thankfully most fit – a few gloves were a little big and one pair too small. But, they worked and the kids had a blast. So, our special thing was to play in the snow and then come in and drink hot chocolate and watch old family videos – Christmas ones. They love doing all of those things and it was a great day — for the kids. I don’t love the mess it makes, but it is worth it.
