'Tis the Season

... and I do love Christmas time, the anticipation and the prep.  We are loving it even more watching Owen and Clara's excitement about it all!  We have 3 advent calendars, a "days until christmas" countdown and a sweet little construction paper chain that is getting closer and closer to the bell on top.  Owen runs to plug in the tree when we get home (if he doesn't, I do) and he is constantly asking "what number is it today?".




 Last weekend the kids and I went to Carole's holiday party where they got to do crafts, have snacks and see Santa.  The next day they decorated gingerbread houses with Carole and Brynn, and today Owen's preschool class performed at a local retirement home (it also marked my first time driving for a field trip)-ADORABLE.  They sang with the residents, shared a snack with them and then played JINGO (bingo).

Owen was all business when it came to Santa.
Santa: "What's your name?"
O: "Owen" handed Santa his list
S: "Do you want to sit on my lap?"
O: "No.  I'll just stand by you.  I want a lego airplane, a car ramp and a watch."pointing to his list
S: "I'll try my best..."
O: eyeing the candy cane basket, accepted candy cane quickly and headed for the door
