Christmas 2010 ReCap

We had a great time visiting family the week prior to Christmas. However the flight home was not so enjoyable. Three boys under the age of 5 + delays in airports = one tired momma! I spent a majority of my time in the LR airport bathroom with one of my kiddos who needed to poop but was frightened by the automatic flushers! (I know most of you cared to read that)
Nevertheless, we had a wonderful time at home with our boys on Christmas morning. Here's a recap of this years festivities. Enjoy!

Tis the Season for Crafts

I'm a little behind on blogging. We've been busy crafting around our house for the holidays. I went to a local craft store this past weekend and found this cute foam gingerbread house kit. It was way cheaper than the Wilton gingerbread kits, and since no one eats gingerbread houses around here, I thought this was a great substitute! So cute and it can stay out longer. S worked with the boys yesterday and here's their creation:
While the boys worked on their house, I was a busy elf making teacher gifts. The class in both W and T's schools are doing group gifts but I just thought the teachers needed a little personal appreciation. I decided to try these cute clipboards. They were easy - just time consuming. The final result turned out really cute I think. In the end there will be a starbucks giftcard attached.
These two are W's teachers. His main teacher - Mrs. McCracken had too long a name so I just chose to put on the last name.
Today the boys made cards for their teachers. W's are on the right and T's on the left. We made snowmen from cotton balls and wreaths from torn paper. They turned out cute.

Something I forgot to post was our Thanksgiving Turkey cookies. I did these a few years ago with W and decided this year T needed have the experience. Both of them had fun. Here's W hard at work
The final result....
Every holiday, Nana sends the boys a card full of stickers. This was W's thanksgiving sticker picture - a Turkey Farm! Pretty good I must admit - barn included and all!
