Christmas in the air…

We have done lots of baking and decorating and crafts…and we’re still not done! Jacey just loves doing ANYTHING crafty, and Jadyn loves to participate as well. I think today we will make another batch of cookies. Not sure what kind yet. So far, we have made Christmas Tree cookies for preschool, Festive White Fudge, and colored rice crispy treats. We’ve also made homemade Christmas ornaments out of salt-dough. They are always fun to do-and super easy to make!
On Friday the 18th, Jacey has her preschool Christmas program. We are so excited to go! I can hardly wait! I will definitely have camera and flip mino in hand. We will be taking a plate of cookies, homemade of course, which we may do the day before.
I also wanted to share this pic. Jacey made this candy-cane ornament in preschool. Isn’t it cute?

Anyways-we are off to figure out what the plan is for today. It is -12 out-so I think we will be staying in..LOL!

What are Your 5 Favorite Holiday Activities to do with Your Kids?

We love the Holidays-as I’m sure everyone who has kids do!
There are many things that we like to do with the kids every year. Fun activities and traditions!
I’m going to post 5 of our favorite activities as part of the Dora Christmas Carol contest.
Every year, we make the biggest batch of sugar cookies., and decorate them with different color frosting, and candies. My 4 year old really loves doing this-as she is really into baking!
We also go to a local park that has a big display of Christmas lights. You drive through the park, and there are lots of different companies who create their Christmas displays to celebrate the season.
Another activity we do is ice skating! That one is a fun one, but there are certain family members that are still learning, haha! Two more activities we do are visiting Santa’s Village at a local farm, and also making our own salt dough ornaments at home. That is just 5 of the many actives that we do around the holidays. There are lots more as the holidays are such a fun, special time!

Hi everyone!

I hope you all had a wonderful Christmas! We had a very busy holiday! On Christmas Eve, Jacey & I finished up doing some baking, while we also were trying to get ready to go out of town to see my hubby’s family. We left at around 3 pm, and got to Willow Lake, S.D at around 6:00. (We stopped for gas and to also get a bite to eat). We visited, and had Christmas morning at their house, Christmas dinner at Jace’s grandmothers, then came home to have Christmas at home. By the time we got home, the girls were tired, but still excited to open gifts at home. It was a bit hectic, but it was nice.
That’s the “quick” run-down of everything….lol. I’ll blog more later with photos…when I have more time.
Have a great day!
