Christmas Preparations!

"Like snowflakes, my Christmas memories gather and dance - each beautiful, unique and too soon gone."
Deborah Whipp

This is such an exciting time of year! The girls are having so much fun and can hardly contain their excitement!

Everything is so magical through the eyes of children!

We took the girls to The Disney Store in the mall last week to have them buy gifts for each other as a surprise. We are hoping this helps them get just as excited about giving as they get about receiving. It was a huge hit! So today, they each wrapped a gift for each of their sisters. What a fun thing to watch! I used the scissors, but watching them manipulate the paper, the gift, the tape, deciding which hand to use for what...we had a great time.

Also, yesterday I took them to get special cards and gifts to give to each of their friends in their classes. Each girl wrote out their own cards (signed their name, traced their friend's names). Plus attached candy canes, stickers, straws, pencils, all these fun goodies!

Tomorrow is Kaitlyn's school Christmas party in the afternoon. And the triplets are having Pajama Day at school as part of their Polar Express theme. They are going to school in their PJs and slippers and taking a 'ride' on the Polar Express around the school and drinking hot cocoa...it sounds really cozy. Then Friday the triplet's classes are meeting at a place called 'The Clay Station' for their Christmas party. And Kaitlyn has early dismissal, then the holiday vacation beings! It's a fun week... busy, but so much fun!

I hope you are enjoying your holiday preparations...and try to slow down and enjoy the fun!
