Today our special thing was to make gingerbread houses. We do this every year but usually much earlier. They had fun and we have a lot of gingerbread houses - most of them decorated. Claire ate most of her candy and only has a few pieces on her house so it basically doesn't even look like she decorated it. We usually have a house full of kids when we do this, but this year we just did it alone since we are not supposed to have any gatherings with more than 10 people. It was sad to not have all of our family and friends, but the kids still had a great time and it was definitely less hectic!
We finished our chapter book and started a new one - The Special Guest-A Christmas Story by Lee and Donna Allen. This book is a little different than most we read - mainly as it is not geared towards kids - but, I think they are going to like it. We actually had two books in our canvas bag today to read - Christmas Magic by Michael Garland and Alabaster's Song by Max Lucado. Both were loved.
