Doing a lot of Christmas around here – hot chocolate, visiting Bethlehem, marshmallows, and dressing for the cold. We have a couple weeks left until school is out and we can start the full celebration.

Here’s our week . . .

Hot chocolate after school.

The next few are by Brooks.

One night we had nachos. We are doing it again this week.

Silas could stay entertained by play-doh for 3 hours. I timed him. He made a road around our kitchen table that went over hills and through a “Winter Wonderland.”

Within 3 minutes all my folded laundry was on the floor.

We didn’t get to celebrate Mark’s birthday last month because we were traveling and Silas was sick. So I surprised him with his favorite, Cookie Cake. 

Old habits die hard.

Marshmallow making has begun.

Our little elf. He wasn’t in the greatest mood on the afternoon this photo was taken.

Silas’ art. He wanted me to write that saying at the top.

See you next week!
