Getting Ready...

We have been trying to keep up with the Christmas preparations... though it is such a crazy time of year! Add on a 8 months pregnant, very tired Mommy, and a destructive 18 month old, and our Christmas season definitely looks a bit different this year.

The girls are being great about not doing everything we usually do: our tree only has lights and garland, there is no book advent calendar this year, we didn't put up all the decorations... Last year we took the whole month of December off from school to do "Christmas School" but I know we'll need a few weeks break in January when the baby comes, so we are still chugging along with our regular subjects. And we still have all the normal stuff to do... like doctor's appointments.


We are trying hard to do festive activities... we made gingerbread houses, we made cookies and had friends over to decorate,

we're taking a holiday music class, we hosted two Christmas parties last weekend, we've been trying to play outside,


the girls took Christmas pictures with their dolls,

and even though it isn't quite as over-the-top Christmas around here as usual, the kids seem excited. Hard to believe there's only one more week to go!
