Gingerbread Houses Round 2

Shawn and Jason got their time to make gingerbread houses.

Nutcrackers!

We continued our family tradition of painting nutcrackers this year. Shawn decided he didn't want to this year (no biggie - I did his for him), but the rest of us worked hard to make our nutcrackers perfect. :)

Jack actually painted 2 nutcrackers this year! Plus, we discovered an interesting tidbit. Jack always paints his nutcrackers' faces blue. We hadn't realized that before. He doesn't know why they have to be blue, but they do. Okie dokie!

Christmas Card

We are officially out on break now, which means I can finish getting our Christmas cards ready! Yay! It's beginning to feel a lot like Christmas!

First Game of Break

Jason and his dad have become quite competitive when it comes to Uno. This match was intense! lol

Friday Five

Woohoo! We are on winter break! The boys have 3 weeks off; I have 2 weeks off. Let the Christmas fun begin!

Shawn's glasses broke this week. We scrambled to find another pair of frames for us to pop the lenses into, but this was not something we needed on our plates this time of year. I guess it is time for us to make an appointment for an eye exam, too.

Our elf has been having a blast leaving gifts and getting into mischief around the house. The first thing Jack does in the morning is search for Elfie to see what he was up to. So fun!

It rained again this week, so the boys got to take another day off of school. This time, I took a day off, too! It was so lovely to get a little winter break preview! It was also lovely to not have to be out in the rain - it came down hard most of the day!

~~~

Jack's highlight this week was getting to wear his Christmas PJs to school today. It's the little things that make school fun, I guess. LOL
