Things I want to remember:
*Sydney and Carter decorated the snoopy tree and hung every ornament on the bottom branch (or the next one up). I had to make a few adjustments... ;)
*Carter singing Up on the Housetop, Jingle Bells and Jingle Bell Rock in the car...and asking to hear it over and over...
*Sydney knows just about every "traditional" Christmas song. We had a little game; I would whistle a tune and she had to name the song. She could get it in about 3 seconds...I eventually ran out of songs!
*Sydney had a Christmas countdown in her room and for 2 weeks knew exactly how many more days until Christmas!
*Christmas trees as night lights!
*Santa told them to pick up their toys and keep mama happy...I reminded them of that often in December and usually got quick results!
*Once all the presents were wrapped and under the tree, Sydney and Carter got together and pulled them all out. They put them in piles according by name and counted how many presents each person had. Good thing the two of them had the same number to open!!
*Sydney got the card game Old Maid from someone at school...we played that lots over her break. Before she picks a card she says, Don't laugh at me if I get the old maid! (However, it's hilarious if someone else ends up with it!!)
*Emma got a bag of dog treats for Christmas. While we weren't looking, she ripped the bag open and ate the ENTIRE bag! She spent the rest of the day laying on her side looking bloated...
It was lots of fun having everyone home for 2 weeks straight! We had fun playing games, watching movies and anticipating Christmas! We loved every minute of it! But of course it was over too quick and we were soon back into the normal work/school routine!
