The Week Before Christmas!

I'm not sure where the time goes.  The weeks just keep flying by!

This week, our elf was busy

making red and green cereal necklaces,

covering our tree in toilet paper,

infecting the house with Christmas pox,

and setting up a scavenger hunt.

Unfortunately, too much arguing over the scavenger hunt made Cherry return to the North Pole for some rest and relaxation.  Maybe he will come back, we aren't sure yet.

Earlier this week, Collin and Reagan made perler bead ornaments.

Collin made the tree, gingerbread boy, and bell, and Reagan made the star and angel.  I love the way they came out.  We just tied string through them and hung them on the tree.

This morning, I spent an hour helping in Reagan's class.  They spent the day doing all things GRINCH, and I helped them make Grinch cookies.

I have been LOVING the 12 videos of Christmas over at Becky Higgins' blog.  So many of them have brought tears to my eyes.  I wish I knew how to edit videos and set them to music!  I should work on that.  Hmmmm, sounds like a resolution!  I do want to take more video of my kids.  If you haven't seen the videos, go watch them now -- click here to go there right away!  So far, video #1 (click here to see it) is my favorite.
