Pre Holiday Fun & Crafts

Lil miss decorating the pink tree in her bedroom
Lil snow bunny in her fuzzy boots. 
Santa came early this year with an Elf on The Shelf...
...and special note from Santa
Jeff & I have been having a ball with this thing. Ruby laughed so hard when she saw Chippy hanging upside down! Looked a little freaked though when Chippy took a picture of us sleeping one morning and then sat next to the bed with the camera. LOL. I thought it was pretty funny myself but we won't be doing that again. :-)
A little Christmas craft I am all excited about. Sparkly fairy walnuts with little charms inside! I can't wait for all the kids to open these! Ruby is gonna love hers, I bet!
My girl sporting some modern day elf wear. 
A little tree Ruby painted
Presents for the teachers...dressed with the cinnamon/applesauce ornaments we made.
A little Santa hand print craft we did. 
The table, dressed for the holiday
This year's Christmas tree.

So excited about the holiday this year! Everything is done and ready. I am so prepared (which is SO unlike me). Plans for Christmas eve in place, meal prepared ahead of time, travel plans for the weekend ready, bags packed, house cleaned, presents bought and wrapped, gifts sent out far and wide. Things are merry and bright around here! I'm also super excited about raising $300 for the children at Mercy Centre through the sale of my lullaby CD! Plus I just had a request for 10 more! Woo hoo! So happy!

Hope all my friends and family are enjoying this holiday season!

Unlike you, I've not been planning ahead at all this year. Except I did get the tree and outside lights up during Thanksgiving when it was 70 degrees outside. Good thing! We've got lots of snow right now, but it's supposed to be back up to 50 by Sunday. I've been preoccupied with getting ready to homeschool Penny starting in January. The best gift for me this year is see ing how happy she is about the idea of me homeschooling her. I couldn't stand to see my "little girl" so upset in high school. Let's enjoy these precious times with our girls as much as we can!

I hope your Christmas was beautiful. We've loved the elf. Check out little blue boo though. All we did was move our elf from room to room, we totally need to step up our game next year!
