We had our winter party yesterday for our playgroup at our house and the kids had a blast. We had some crafts for them to do, but they were more interested in playing with their friends. They played a game where they used toilet paper to wrap a person up to look like a snowman. They also did a book exchange and the kids both got a neat book.
We stayed home today and did the crafts. We made penguin magnets, painted snowmen and snowflakes and made angel garland. I am trying to keep the holiday season a bit simpler this year to really enjoy the time instead of running around like crazy. It still seems like we are always going, though! We have Breakfast with Santa tomorrow at the church and Bryce's first basketball game.
I would like to take the kids to one of the live nativity scenes this year, also. It seems we are being bombarded with the commercialism this year and I really started to notice now that Bryce is older that we need to do more celebrating the reason for Christmas.
We also plan to go to Holiday in the Park if the weather cooperates. The kids and I are going to go visit my grandma in Arkansas (and hopefully bring her back here for Christmas!) next week and then we will be home enjoying Christmas. I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season.
