Yeah I awasn't really sure what was going on in this chasos, but the kiddos had a lot of fun opening gifts and and trashing Grandma Sherrie's house.

 Work it Tori!

Macy loves her Baby. For the first couple of weeks she would carry that baby all over the place, and wouldn't forget diaper bag it came with.

Christmas for Theo

Theo, our dog,  was the focus of the Christmas activity tonight. After dinner we went to neighborhood grocery store, and we picked out a few gifts for him. Tori was concerned about Theo's ability to unwrap his gifts, but was excited to hear that she would get to do the honors for him.  I think Macy will have more fun squeaking the squeaky toy she picked out for Theo than he will.  Then to top it off we had coco for a little bed time treat.

Christmas Oranges

Shoot dang, I didn't take pictures of our activity tonight, but one from  the web will do. It is nice to have something to look at.

Anywho, we listened to the story of the Christmas Orange, talked about how life is better when we serve other people, and then had a tasty citrus treat.

Merry Birthday

 Tonight we went to a Merry Birthday Party for Tori friend Charlie, and Macy's Friend Owen. It was a fun little get together with friends. Macy and Tori loved loved that Santa came to visit. Santa Clause sang a couple Christmas songs with all the kids, and gave them goodie bags.

Neighbor Gifts

The plan for tonight was to make neighbor gifts. We were going to hand them out tonight as well, but we got a latter start than we planned. Oh well. Now we are hoping we don't freeze to badly when we go pass them out tomorrow.

The Shoes were Filled

and Tori and Macy were delighted

Christmas Around the World

 For the 17th of December we learned about Christmas celebrations from around the world for our activity.  We used an advent calender from the December 2009 issue of the Friend. Then we tried out a couple of the celebrations we learned about.

First we put candles up in our windows like people do in Ireland to show we would welcome Joseph and Mary in our home. Then we got balloons to and let them go in the night sky as an Argentine would do with a globos on Christmas Eve. We also had the girls put there shoes outside the door to be filled my St Nicholas like the children of Germany do on St. Nicholas Day.
I am most likely going to continue a Christmas activity like this every year because I love my girls learning about different cultures. If you would like to try this activity out then you can find what I used here.

Not a PJ Party

Christmas parties are great. Not only are they fun, but it also makes our Christmas activity for the day a no brainier. I also like them because I feel a bit cooler and liked when I am invited to one. Tonight our family was invited to a party. So I felt cool, no pressure to plan something for an activity, and was ready to have fun. However I read the invite wrong.  Ugh. The invite mentioned wearing your pajamas so we did. Of course it was a joke; I see that now after my whole family showed up to a party dressed in night wear. Oh my goodness I felt so ridiculous, but with the red neck tendencies I was able to pull it off. LOL! 

My girls had a lot of fun with all the other children, and enjoyed eating treats. Jake and I had a great time chit chatting, and laughing with friends. Thanks for making me feel cool, Batemans, even in my PJs
