Today our special thing was to decorate our family room tree and make fudge and Rice Krispies Treats. Bethany made the fudge and it turned out great and Tess made some really good Rice Krispies Treats. Then we decorated the tree. There is quite a lot of enthusiasm going on in our house any time we do any decorating or baking or just about any Christmas activity. Today they were definitely excited. Tess can show more enthusiasm than anyone I have ever seen and today she definitely showed a lot. They worked on the tree for an hour or so and I think it looks nice now and we can finally clean up all the boxes and ribbon and beads out of our family room and make it a little more comfortable. Now we are almost finish decorating.
We also opened another bag and there were two books in today's bag - Christmas in the Country and A Full House. I absolutely love A Full House and Bethany said it makes here feel homey and cozy. Its a great book by Madeleine L'Engle about the Austin family.
We also started our new chapter book today - The Best Christmas Pageant Ever by Barbara Robinson. I only read two chapters today but I think the kids laughed almost the entire two chapters so it was definitely a good choice. Today was a really good day and we got a lot done.
My 8 year old grandson loves reading The Best Christmas Pageant Ever with his mom. They are going to watch the movie one evening.
ReplyDeleteMy kids do, too. It’s a good book and movie.
