'Tis the Season

After our Casino Night I was finally able to focus on our favorite holiday!! The house is decorated and mommy has gotten pretty crafty this season and added a few new items to our home.  One week, Sophia and Mommy took a cooking class and made Christmas cookie tree ornaments and Phia brought them to school on share day to show her friends(she was very proud).  The following week Presto and Mommy took a cooking class and made a mini gingerbread house which he was very proud of as well(he loved the eating of the candy part as well).  Mommy and Phia also decorated a big gingerbread house at home while the boys were napping one day(Phia also enjoyed the eating of the candy part of this project as well).  I made a snowman on our front door one night and Bentley was my helper...he was very into it.  We also spent one evening decorated the tree and drinking hot cocoa...this is mommy's favorite night.  It's chaotic and the tree looks a little crazy after but it's sooooo fun!! Of course the kids are also enjoying the return of our Elf named "Snack".  One morning Phia looked at him and said "Bye Snack, I'm going to school now"...she's always the first one downstairs and races around to look for him.  WE LOVE CHRISTMAS!!!!
