Thanks, Matt.

It's like a toy store in this house these days and the kids are having a blast.  We had such a great Christmas with my family and am so happy to have had that time to spend with them.  Family is all gone home so the only thing left to do is to try out every new toy.  Tonight was beauty shop night.  Amelia had told her uncle Matt on the phone that she wanted an Ooh La La salon for Christmas.  She loves it.  It really is adorable but it has a water bottle.  So if you are lucky enough to have Amelia do your hair, prepare to be soaked.  What a fun time we had!

I looked like a clown but had the best 30 minutes of my break.  Thanks, Matt!

Our 25 Days of Christmas

Amelia and Maddox are so excited about Christmas this year.  I knew I needed a way to count down and keep them entertained.  I had Amelia help me make a calendar for the month of December.  Then we picked out 25 different activities we could do as a family every night leading up to Christmas Eve.



 Here are just a couple of Christmas crafts we have done over the last couple of days.

Rudolph

Decorated the Playhouse

Frosty



We also sat down and wrote letters to Santa.  So sweet!

And by far, my most favorite thing to do is to hide Crystal, our elf.  Just a couple of her hiding places.....

I LOVE Christmas!!  To be continued......
