Gingerbread Day

 

So today has been both a success and a failure....they are really enjoying themselves, which is mostly all that matters but I fear you all may be upset with me...I miscalculated their sugar high and crash times and am sad to report that almost nobody has napped yet today;) I pray that the crash comes conveniently at bedtime with an ease of transition and not a horrible tantrum;) At snack time today I am going to try to stuff them full of healthy food and see if that helps to calm some of the vibrating energy radiating from their excited bodies-my motto this week has been if you can't beat them, join them but even I cannot manufacture the same kind of joy, excitement, anticipation, and sugar rush that is happening to these munchkins! So good luck riding the wave-oh and they are bringing home cookies that they decorated tonight:) We have talked about eating them when our parents say it is ok, even if that means waiting till after dinner or even tomorrow so I am leaving their sugar encrusted gingerbread people eating to your discretion-May the odds be ever in your favor! Merry Christmas!

Happy Birthday Jesus!

 Sorry for the noise on the videos but they loved dancing to the Jesus version of Jingle Bells...then they helped me sing happy birthday to Jesus as we put Him with Mary and Joseph under the tree!


Check out the awesome elf hat!

Our Birthday Party game of the day: Pin the Star over Jesus...we didn't quite make it but it was funny watching them try to do it with their eyes closed!











I didn't get a picture of our Grinch snacks from yesterday but here is one of the Grinch jell-os, thank you for the snacks and drinks throughout the week-it is much appreciated and the kiddos are loving the fun treats!

Today's birthday cupcakes and gatorade!





We finally got to put Baby Jesus in the Nativity...He's a bit early but all well. In my family, we have a tradition on Christmas Eve of making Jesus a birthday cake and singing Happy Birthday as we carry Him out to the Nativity scene, it is my favorite Christmas thing and I am so glad I got to share it with the kids today!



Our Jingle Bell for Jesus song.

What the perfect book to open for today!



Three candles are a lot to blow out...:)






Happy Summer!
