Daily December 2009: Day Five

We put a new spin on a tradition and made and decorated rice crispy houses instead of gingerbread ones. Andrew loved that he could actually eat his creation instead of just eating the candy and "looking" at the house.

Okay, how cute are these pj's?? I had to get them when I saw them since Andrew loves his monkey Bongo. He was very excited about them too. It's the little things for sure and Christmas pj's are a tradition around here!

Daily December 2009: Day Three

Today I wrote a letter to Andrew (Ali Edwards idea) just telling him how much I love watching him get excited for Christmas and what he is asking for this year. Also, discussing how proud I am of him and what he has accomplished this year. He has grown up so much this year and is really starting to change into a little man.

Andrew came home with a handmade invitation to his Christmas program. How cute!! I love that they had them create an invite for the parents instead of just sending home a flyer.

Daily December 2009: Day One

It's the first day of December and our countdown to Christmas is beginning. What better way to countdown than with a homemade advent calendar (see photo below for full picture.) This was unbelievable easy to do and besides having issues with the magnets I'm loving it. Next year I will redesign it and make sure to leave enough room for the circles to overlap a bit more and get different magnets that adhere better. Just an fyi in case there is anyone out there thinking they want to create it this year. Which by the way it isn't too late! This only took me about an hour to create. Easy peazie!

You can find instructions by googling muffin tin advent calendar. There is inspiration everywhere!

So, hello to December. I'm so glad you are here.
