12 days of Christmas crafts

This year we made 12 crafts for the 12 days of Christmas. It was a lot of fun, and Logan and Taylor were a lot more into it than I expected. Kendall loved every second of it, but I knew she would! 1. Fingerprint lights 2. Snowmen ornaments 3. Christmas stickers 4. Christmas tree button decorations 5. Handprints Christmas trees 6. Fingerprints candy canes 7. Glowing snowmen milk jugs 8. Handprints Santas 9. Handprints snowmen ornaments 10. Marshmallow snowmen 11. Frosting Christmas trees 12. Footprints snowmen Not too bad for a not-so-crafty mom, huh? Thank you, Pinterest!

Trip to Maryland

 
We were very fortunate to be able to make the trip to Maryland for Thanksgiving this year again. And in addition, we were able to stay long enough to celebrate Luc's birthday. Two for one! Thanksgiving dinner was a success! Yummy food. Great company. And Logan was such a good helper! He helped wash the food and even cleaned the turkey. I am so glad we made the 45 minutes drive from my parents' house to go to Café Rio. I crave that food every.single.day. Mark my words: one day, I'm going to own a Café Rio, if we don't already live by one. The kids had so much fun going to visit the Firefighter Station and checking out the train. And they had a blast jumping in the inflatable castle at Luc's party. Luc is such a sweet boy! We sure wish we lived closer so that we could play with him more often.
