In the Christmas Spirit!!

The girls and I did such a fun holiday craft tonight...we made snowmen!!
We had the Christmas music playing, we laughed and had the best time...(except when Alexa freaked out because she got too much glue on her carrot nose and then couldn't color it orange because it was too wet and sticky).


Alexa is gluing her little heart out!!
She is such a little perfectionist.
Lillian was so proud of her work.
She did such a great job gluing and coloring.
The best part was that she had so much fun and kept a smile on her face.
I told you she was a perfectionist...



Putting the finishing touches on her snowman..

Such a happy girl!

Ta-Da!! The Snowmen!
Alexa's Snowman
Cruzie's Snowman

After they were done with their projects, I put them in the tub to clean up.
Then, I took some pictures of some of the fun Christmas-y things around the house.

My centerpiece on the kitchen table.
Those pinecones smell like cinnamon and literally make my whole entire house smell like "Christmas". I love it.
The girls and their snowmen!

Our stockings!
The Christmas doll under our tree.
And my favorite decoration of all - Elfie!
He was my Grandma Louise's and always sat in her house at Chritmas time.
Now he is sitting in our tree, close to the angel.
Having him there makes it feel like my Grandma is here with us, watching over our family - watching her great-grandbabies play. I miss her so much - especially during the holidays!
