12 Days Till Christmas - Team Lopez Style (Day 10)

We've got three days till Christmas,

so you all get to see...

Ten on a float (Santa and his 9 reindeer),

So, you can only see part of them, but trust me when
I tell you they were all there. The boys loved seeing Santa!

Nine presents under the tree,

More presents to come!
Um...more presents to come soon. ;)

Eight things on our to do list,

1. Wrap presents (I've finally started wrapping, but I'm nowhere near finished.)
2. Address and send Christmas Cards
3. Go see Santa (the plan is tomorrow!)
4. See the Christmas lights (Our Christmas Eve tradition)
5. Go Christmas Caroling on Sunday (He had a BLAST!)
6. Crafting, crafting, and more crafting
7. Take the boys to go shopping for their gifts to family (dollar store, here we come!)
8. Be Merry

Seven words to Santa,

      Me: Shawn, do you think you'll be on the naughty list or the nice list?

      Shawn: I'm not naughty! I am nice. Jason's naughty.

      Sigh. That's right, Shawn. Throw your brother under the bus. I can't wait to hear what he says about you tomorrow!

Six handmade ornaments,




Shawn's snowman on the left, Jack's snowman
is on the right. (He went a little Picasso on me.)
Shawn did all the other ornaments today, too!

 

Five in a picture,

It is hilarious to me that Jason's real smile shows only
when the other two are annoyed and upset. Just one of these
days, these guys need to get it together!

 

Four fingerprint snowmen,





I heart them. They totally feed into my fascination with
the boys' hands. lol

 

Three gingerbread houses,

Decorated by (from left to right): Jason, Jack, and Shawn

Two kissing boys,




 and Santa's scout named Elfie.






He needed to relax after that wild party last night.

      He's finally saying Merry Christmas. My job is done.

Shawn was a crafting maniac today! He and Jack made the
three back ornaments. He also made the outside bracelet and the drum ornament!
Jason made the bracelet in the middle to take to Layla tomorrow.

This is such a sweet scene until you learn that one is
passing a ton of gas at this very moment. They both
