Day 21 - Door 21

Last day of school before Christmas.  Time to Party!!  I made brownies for the kids to take and share with their friends.  To make them Christmassy (that is a word right?) we smashed up some candy canes and sprinkled them on top.  Apparently they were a hit.  Zia said everyone commented on how delicious they were.  She seemed very proud of them.  Made me feel good. 

Day 20 - Door 20

Well today's post should come as no surprise... you were there!!  

Now with this link though you can share what you saw with anyone you want

Kelly was so excited we were there.  I am still laughing about his abrupt "See you tomorrow, bye Mom."  when he left to go for lunch after the concert.

He is so cute

I love his laugh!

Lunch was yummy, I am still not hungry!

He did so great!

Day 19 - Door 19

6 days!!

Last night was the carol sing at the school.  What a great night.  My voice has not recovered yet.  But we did our best anyway.  We forgot to take the video camera but Sean snapped a few pictures for you!

Day 18 - Door 18

Tomorrow is going to be a busy day, long day at work and school carol sing tomorrow night. There will not be a lot of time in between.   I already got a day behind once this week and it is only Monday.  So I am posting this one a day ahead. :)

Since Christmas is a about Love and sharing and our whole family we asked Meagan and Alan to participate as well.  They gave us photos of the animals in their Christmas gear to share before.  Since you haven't been able to go see the new house in person we asked Meagan and Alan to share some video of their home/renovations with us.

Day 17 - Door 17

Almost every day now Jadzia reminds me how many days are left until Christmas.  The excitement is making the kids goofy.  On Saturday Kiernan went to a birthday party, he came home with a fun goody bag.  This silly toy was in it.  It helped contribute to the silliness.  The video camera is great for sharing silliness!

Day 16 - Door 16

Kiernan is polishing his light saber skills in preparation for Christmas family visitors!



The kids were excited to open their envelope today, they were wondering what color the beads would be.  After they finished adding their beads they hung them back on the tree.

After we read the story we took a picture of our pointsettia

Day 15 - Door 15

Can't believe how close we are getting... 10 days.. really?

Gotta get some prep work done!

Zia and I made cookies last night, we made a batch a couple nights ago.  We are trying to make some every other day or so, this way we have lots.  I want to have enough I can share some with our neighbours.

Jadzia enjoyed using her cookbook that Gram gave her last year.  I think we are going to make strawberries tomorrow... how I am gonna do that without eating them I have no idea!

Kiernan's friends Austin came over for a sleepover, Austin's Dad is working a night shift and Mom is on days tomorrow.  The boys have hockey so I volunteered to have him over.  They decided they were LEGO designers.  They sat at the table with paper and crayons and "drew" LEGO building plans.
