We Are Ready!!

We had a very laid back week here!  We spent Monday doing some Christmas-y things, Tuesday was a sick day so we didn't do much of anything, Wednesday was spent at my parents' house so that left today (Thursday) to finish up any Christmas activities.  We read the Christmas story from the Bible and made a nativity--that was a lot of fun!  Nathan colored the barn, Samuel colored the shepherds, Hunter colored the wise men and Lily colored Joseph/Mary/baby Jesus.  We cut it out and put it all together--so fun!  We've made gingerbread men, candy canes, nutcrackers, gingerbread houses, Santa Clauses, etc...  We've been crafty and we've read a lot of books and it's just been a really fun, laid back week!  I've actually had time to keep the house pretty clean!  We're looking forward to celebrating Christmas with our family!!
