I’ve had lots of help packing away our fall/Thanksgiving decorations.

The children carefully went through the house gathering pumpkins, and fall wreaths. We sorted them on my bed and placed them into boxes to await next year.

It’s always nice to have their help! It’s really nice to see the excitement growing as they realize it’s almost Christmas!!

I’ve spent quite a bit of time in recent weeks, considering how to make the holidays memorable (in a good way!), for my family.

I decided to plan something fun for each day from now until Christmas.

Tonight, ate chili-cheese nachos, watched a Christmas movie, and decorated sugar cookies (which were yummy).

I colored a little sugar in a bowl and allowed the littles to decorate their own cookie. It’s amazing how the simplest things can turn into lots of fun for little people!
