More Christmas Fun

I haven't been the best at doing "Christmas fun" everyday, but we have been so busy and most days there is something fun, just not too Christmasy.

So day 3, we went to Charleston Place Hotel with Nonnie and Gumpy to see the train sets they have. I forgot my camera, but did take pictures on my phone, but I'm too lazy to email and upload and whatnot so picture it in your head..... gorgeous hotel with beautiful Christmas decorations and a huge electric train set sitting right in the middle of 2 huge staircases. The girls loved watching the trains go around and around and Riley like seeing them for up on the stairs. We then went out to eat which was nice because we walked down the market and we got to have praline samples on the way back, yum!

Day 4- we went to Ben's birthday party. Of course that was fun, just not very Christmasy:)

Day 5- we went to church and relaxed at home with dad.

Day 6-- we made candy cane reindeer

Day 7- we made cracker candy... yum

Day 8- we had a visit from Aunt Candy and Meme. We made pumpkin muffins for breakfast and then made cupcakes for Riley's friend Anna. We missed her birthday party on Saturday so we had her and her mom and sister over for lunch and a mini bday party. The 4 girls had a blast playing. We told them to clean up and after about 10 min we went to check on them and I found Riley in the closet... not sure what they were doing, haha.

Day 9- We had popcorn for dinner and watched a Christmas movie... well not really on any of that, but it was what was the plan:) Riley had popcorn and M&Ms for dinner. Reagan ate 2 bites of popcorn, all her M&Ms and then wanted a waffle. And they decided they wanted to watch Toy Story instead of Polar Express.
Day 10 - The Elf brought the girls some new Christmas books!
Day 11 - Riley had a birthday party to go to... ALONE! and she did great. She even told the mom that I don't allow her to have sprite and that she needed juice... what a good girl:)
And look where the elf was this morning.... crazy thing:)
Hopefully in the next few days I can get to AC Moore so we can make some more ornaments, make a gingerbread house, a gumdrop tree, some more cookies, go see Christmas lights, and maybe make a plate for Santa's cookies!
