The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas Day – 16

Today our special thing was to take the canvas bags the kids painted a couple of years ago and put a book in each bag to read. So, since there are 8 days till Christmas Eve we took 8 bags and 8 kids each secretly put one of their favorite books into a bag and closed it. Nobody knows what is in the bags other than the one they chose for. We will now choose a bag every day till Christmas Eve and read whatever book is in it. They all thought this would be fun and we will read the book from the bag each morning. I had actually been at a loss as to what to do today and didn’t think of this till it was almost time to go to church to practice for the Christmas Eve service. Some days I just don’t seem to have many ideas and today was one of those days.

I got 5 gifts in the mail today and I have started wrapping them as soon as they get here. Makes things easier. Tomorrow I think I have about 8 that are supposed to arrive, but they change it on me all the time. Just hoping all my gifts will arrive before Christmas.

The Twenty-Four Days Before Christmas – Day 15

Today was a dark rainy day and we stayed home all day. I love rain so it didn’t bother me at all. We wrapped a few gifts and made Rice Krispies Treats and Bethany even put the lights on the tree in my room. Our special thing for today was just the easiest thing I could think of and since it was such a rainy day I decided everyone could watch a movie. So, they watched How The Grinch Stole Christmas. They thought it was a great choice. This is their third Christmas movie and I admit that today I just took the easy way out.

It was a nice day though. We spent our day being kind of lazy and catching up on the little things that needed to be done – and frequently checking my Amazon app to see if there was any change and if all my gifts would arrive on time. I also had a friend come by with her daughter and her beautiful new baby boy. We visited while the kids watched the movie.

We read this evening and everyone said it was such a nice relaxing day. I didn’t even pick up my camera today so I just tried to find a picture from yesterday to fill in.
