Christmas 2008 – Day 3

Decorate the Christmas Tree!!!!!!!!!!

How exciting! We should really have done this on the first, but we wanted Daddy to join in! Golly I had fun. The Christmas music was playing and everyone was happy! Each of us found something useful to do.

I put the tree up while E6 carefully placed the ornaments on. We had such fun finding our favourites from last year.

B4 helped Dad untangle the lights and get them started.

And R1 threw the ornaments out the window and went to collect them to do it all over again. He had such fun doing this heehhee.

Christmas 2008 – Day 2

Today we went to the library and borrowed Christmas books! We have fiction and short stories and non-fiction and carols. Yay! Slack me hasn’t taken any photos. So this is a photo-less post.

The kids also made little angels from polystyrene cups and balls, with attached paper wings. So cute and now we have FOUR angels for our tree. Who ever said there was supposed to be one up there?

Christmas 2008 – Day 1

Last year I decided that it was time to find our family way and celebrate Christmas with our own family traditions. I picked up this fabric panel cheap and sewed little pockets to make an advent calendar. Each pocket has a little treat for the kiddies, and an idea for the day as we head towards Christmas.

December 1st  – Bring out the Christmas Music!

Our house is now filled with all the tunes….we have quite a collection from Bing Crosby and Ella Fitzgerald to Band Aid and Queen, all the favourites.
