December 10th: 15 days until Christmas!

Early Blog because we are having an early bedtime! These kids have been up since 6:30am and we have been going every since then! Clayton went all day with no bottle! He did very well with a sippy cup, bitter sweet I want to cry because he is getting so big! We started a new chore chart with Annabelle who was actually very excited about her own checklist and point system! She feels grown up! So far so good though! She got a lot done with out complaining!
Santa's beard is filling up quit nicely!! Only 15 days until Christmas!
Guess what kind of craft we did today?! Okay I will tell you ;0) Salt Dough ornaments of course! This is my new obsession! Give your kids cookie cutters and let them go! I enjoy them too! Usually I am very Ocd about paint lol but today I let Annabelle and Olivia be free to paint with any colors they wanted to use! This was very hard for me! But I did my own ornament and stayed quiet!
After our ornaments we watched Tangeled, very cute movie, The Santa Claus 2 , the Miracle Maker and Veggie Tales! We created Candy Cane Popcorn and even added candy canes to our hot chocolate! The girls enjoyed that! The kids had a video chat from Mexico tonight while watching the IU & UK game which was fun! Annabelle is yelling at the TV because she is an IU fan tonight lol.
Bed time is soon, but I have some Christmas Movies recorded to watch and since I was nice and let TR go hunting he will be watching those with me although he does not know that yet!
I do enjoy these litle moments.. Clayton is waving and laughing at his reflection in the window, Annabelle yelling and jumping about a basketball score and TR trying to explain basketball to Clayton who is not listening :0)

My Gingerbread his name is Edward hehe

Annabelle's ornaments for Kelsey, Haley and Ethan

His beard is filling up!

Well my daughter is convinced IU won because she was cheering for them lol So I think I will end on that note lol!
