Chris is such a scrooge this time of year, but I have been having so much fun with the boys. The other day while every one was sleeping I got out most of the Christmas decorations. I put them all up, except the tree, and when Noah woke up, he came into the office and said, "Mom, I saw all the Christmas decorations up and they are beautiful." So, I am hoping that I will have two boys who love this holiday and are willing to go crazy with me!!
A couple years ago I quilted stockings for all of us in the family. I love getting them out now and the boys LOVE them. Noah even remembered where we hang them. We don't have a fireplace at our house, so we use some shelves, but that's a pretty good memory, I think, for a four year old...
Chris always hated the Nativity Set I had when we got married, so my mom gave me this one a few years ago. One thing that I really love about this one is that on each of the main characters there is a scene from the story AND everyone is wearing a quilt. Can't fit me much better than that!
I have been working on some sewing projects and one day the boys climbed under my table and got on the bookshelf and pretended they were sleeping on bunk beds. Of course, I had to stop what I was doing to capture that moment. They also were pretending they were the black and red SpiderMan...fitting who was wearing which underware.
We decided to do Advent Calendars with the boys this year. I'm not sure if there is supposed to be some sort of story each day,but they just love the cool pop-up tree and good chocolates they get each day. These are great calendars because we can reuse them for years to come because they are so sturdy and the openings are closeable (is that a word?)
Here is them on day one...Noah shows Micah each day which number to look for and helps him find it. It's a pretty cute thing to watch him be such a good big brother like that.
