December 8th I love Handprints :0)

Yes I know I am late ;0) But we had a busy day and night! First Clayton borrowed Baby Jesus from my manger and It took a while to find him lol! I needed to catch up on some work outs while My little teething monster took a nap! I still can not believe he has Molar teeth in!!
So I did a craft also when the kids did! I loved the idea but last night I dropped my frame so now we will be redoing it :0(. We did peppermint hand print keepsakes! I love doing hand print crafts! I will always have those little hands to look back on and of course cry haha.
Annabelle read us Twas the Night Before Christmas, we had left over Hot Chocolate and watched all the Christmas Cartoon Movies on Abc Family! We recorded some to watch over the weekend! TR's 7 days off started sooo guess who has time to help with crafts now? :0)

<==Craft Poem!

<==Kids craft!

<==My craft!

<==and I did this with Clayton's pic Erin took

We had a pretty calm night besides the meltdown Mr. Clayton had when his sister tried to move his toy he was walking with lol.  I love having all this Family Time! I dont think there is anything better and there is no place I would rather be!

December 7th: Hot Chocolate and Handprints :0)

Got alot done today! We listened to xm radio Christmas music on Dish lol while we picked up toys and finished up homework. Annabelle helped get our Crock pot Hot Chocolate ready which was very yummy! Thank you Pinterest!!Our new Scentsy scent White Out really made it smell like winter! Weird right? lol. We made Peanut butter Chocolate Bars recipe from the Cake Doctor, but we used sugar free ingredients :0) Still good by the way! After I cleaned up messes and had supper going it was craft time!
We made Salt dough Hand prints! Ours did not look a good a the picture on Pinterest but oh well we are going to try again onetime soon, but the giggles while doing it was fun to hear! We even made Lucian one! Annabelle's idea is we should take one of Lucian's paw and one of hers and her brothers to her Uncle Greg's grave, that way he knows Lucian is happy with her! She is a very sweet little girl and so strong for what she has been through! So this weekend we are going to go take one to the grave yard with her!

<==Lucian's

<==Clayton's&Annabelle's

After we started the baking process of our crafts we did bath time, play time and supper clean up. Had some Hot Chocolate and dessert. The kids talked to Mamaw Kathy who was rubbing in the temp in Mexico lol but it i okay we want snow!! We added another cotton ball to Santa's beard, which still excites Annabelle each night! Then watched some TV before bedtime. Both kids were out by 8:45! I guess I wore them out this afternoon! Well I guess I will catch up on Dvr while they sleep! Same time tomorrow :0)

December 6th:(yes a day late! These kids keep me busy!)

No craft today :0(
Due to Annabelle's school Christmas Program we had to skip a craft tonight! Annabelle did help me make Homade Veggie Soup though! Then while getting her massive head of hair curled lol we watched The Sanat Claus 3! Very amusing time listening to Clayton try to sing Fa la la at the top of his lungs along with his sister, even Lucian covered his face lol!

<---Lucian had to have a picture too!

<---He look like a little man!(kind of blurry from my phone!)

The Christmas program was cute! They did Twas the Night Before Christmas. Best part of the night was when Clayton spotted his Sissy on stage and very loudly continued to yell Sissy and clap and laugh! he waved once then tried to hide behind another kid haha! I love watching both of them together! he i a very good sister jut want to try and play mommy sometimes! I hope they always stay this close! Oh he even let him wear hi sweater that matched her dress! Very impressive :0) Yep we are very blessed to have these two with us!

Christmas Card Pictures

I decided to dress the kiddos in their Christmas outfits to do a picture to send with our Christmas Cards with the dog lol. Wow what fun that was lol. I will be sending two pictures after I was looking over them and found teh best picture ever lol! It shows the true them! Annabelle making kissie faces, Clayton pulling at the tree and Lucian playing with Clayton! I love those 3! They make me laugh atleast once every few minutes!

First 5 Days of Our 25 Days of Christmas :0)

So this year for our 25 Days of Christmas we are doing crafts every day! In the past years it was one every few days, but Annabelle is old enough to help clean up now haha. So lets play catch up!

December 1st:

We made our beardless Santa as we do every year to count down the 25 days! Along with that we did Reindeer hand print pictures. We then had hot chocolate and watch Hallmark and ABC Family Christmas Movies. Then when the kids fell asleep I continued my movie marathon with Water for Elephants because we all know my EDWARD obsession ;0). So that sums up Day 1!

December 2nd:

Today we did Handprint Snowmen ornaments! Love these things and Clayton's little giggle while playing in paint PRICELESS :0) Then of course Movie time! The little poem with the Ornaments is so sweet too!

These aren’t just five snowmen

As anyone can see.I made them with my handWhich is a part of me.

Now each year

When you trim the tree

You’ll look back and recall

Christmas 2011

When my hand was just this small!

December 3rd:

Today was a busy day! Basketball practice for Miss Annabelle then we cleaned before starting our craft! But we did make a pretty neat craft :0) Annabelle wanted to do a cookie plate for Santa but did not want to share with Clayton lol. So Clayton made a plate for Reindeer food! So much fun!

Then we watched movies with Daddy :0) Oh and Annabelle's plate is rather funny! She swears Santa fell over eating way to many cookies!

December 4th:

Since it was Sunday we did a few extra crafts :0) We started with a Thumb print Reindeer ornament, watched some movies while lounging around on the couch lol. Then after lunch we made a very special Wreath using Annabelle's and Clayton's handprints cut out of construction paper and Annabelle went a little crazy with the glitter!! Then after supper we did our Family Handprint Tree and yes added a very special Doggie :0) I can not wait to pick up my frame for it! Then we finished the night with Christmas Movies!

December 5th:

This morning I had one sick little Annabelle! Once she started feeling better we made some Melted Snowmen Cookies and she loved every minute! After she took a nap we made an Annabelle snow girl and a Clayton snow baby! We had some cookies after supper and watched Justien Bieber again on the So Random Christmas Special again for the tenth time lol.
