Some things we've been doing lately...

Here are a few pictures of things we've been doing lately:

Wearing funny slippers (she laughs so much it's so cute)

Making Christmas wrapping paper:
Take 3 kids, 2 colors of paint, and lots of big blank sheets of newspaper roll. We do this every year!

Pretending to be St.Lucia
Jane came home from school Friday telling me about what they do in Sweden with St.Lucia and I asked her if she knew she was Swedish. She looked at me like- "what?"
Also for show and tell last week she sang "Stille Nacht" Silent Night in German for her class. Her teacher liked it so much she had her sing it for the other 5 Kindergarten classes in their rooms.

We have gotten lots of packages!! THANK YOU!!
This one came from Andy in Alaska- we don't know what happened to the outside.

I took snacks to Bruce's preschool- we love our fruit Christmas tree.

For Brad's birthday we had a party with 29 doughnuts and hot chocolate/cider. We LOVE Stephens.

Apparently Bruce has been taking pictures too- so funny to think of how he views things.

We are so jealous of all your Stephens! Yummy.

Bruce has quite the eye behind the lense! Way to go little buddy! Kate is ADORABLE as ever- I wish I had cookie slippers. And Jane looks very pretty as santa lucia- so sweet. Cute Christmas card too by the way! And I love your wrapping paper tradition- fun fun! And you forgot to send me some Stevens- I'm a little ticked.

Well I am glad that the package was only that color on the outside. Remember it's what on the inside that counts!

Eliza, I was DYING when Bruce was climbing up onto the pulpit during the Christmas program. Your kids are soooo cute.

Hey, great fruit tree idea!

Fruit tree is darling and the pic of Kate in the slippers is edible!
