We had a very busy day! I need to thank Alanah and Phaedra for picking up the playroom during rest time. They did a fantastic job! :-) Thank goodness too, because it looked like a cyclone had hit! I cleaned the kitchen while they put all the toys away!
For afternoon snack we made gingerbread houses. David and Brian pre-assembled the graham crackers. We used dried fruit this year, instead of candy, so that it would be a healthier treat :-)
Phaedra and Alanah asked that we make them again this year- and I am glad we did it was fun :-)
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas!!
I feel so fortunate to have all of you in my life and I am so glad you all are here!
