We had some great activities and I learned one important thing- I simply planned too much for us to do :)
Anyway, here's a little round-up of what we've been up to the past few days.
D. loves to sew so much he asked to try out embroidery, his first piece is very simple of course, but in holiday spirit:
Saturday we went roller-skating again and D. met Santa (for the first time too, since I'm not a fan of mall Santas :)) It was also a day of surprise treasure hunt arranged by Daddy. The reward is a small chest with coins :)
Sunday: Baby C. turned three! (she insists she's "twenty-seven" though) D. selected a present for her (little pony) and it proved to be her favorite.
Monday: Daddy left to visit his parents overseas and we had a quiet day watching snow fall. D. also made a little picture book of his own.
Tuesday: Fun with friends in the afternoon.
Today: I took D. to the movies, we watched Hugo, which we both enjoyed very much. In the evening kids made a bear den and stayed there, talking, snacking and reading.
We read
The Story of Holly and Ivy by Rummer Godden, lovely, magical story about Christmas wishes and need for love.
Now we have a glorious snow fall outside of our window, there's nothing better than waking up with skylights entirely covered with white blanket- looking forward to the morning now :)
