Christmas Continues

Things have been just rolling along. And there is only a few more days left.

For anyone just dying to know here's what we have done the last few days as part of our 12 days of Christmas.

On the 5th Day (Thursday) we attended a Christmas party at my husband's work. The kids received a Kinderegg and a Barrel O' Monkey's game to share. I thought it was sweet that they thought of the kids that way. My husband just started his job there and it's a small but growing company. It will be nice to have some faces to put to names when he talks to me about his day.

On the 6th Day we went to the movies to see Disney's new A Christmas Carol with Jim Carrey. We rarely get to the movies and this was such a treat for us. The script was very close to the original story and my husband and I enjoyed it very much. It was scary at some points... I mean really it's a tale of a man haunted by four ghosts on Christmas Eve who are trying to scare him into being a nicer person, it's not your typical Christmas movie. But then again my children sing songs from Nightmare Before Christmas and try to pass them of as Christmas carols. 'Kidnap the Santy Clause, chomp him into bits, kidnap the Santy Claus and find out how he ticks" I kid you not. These are my children, encouraged by my third child, my husband.

On the 7th day of Christmas we went to my sister's house for our Christmas dinner and gift exchange with extended family. I presented my finished quilt to my 1 yr old nephew. He kept wrapping himself in it. He is still sleeping in his crib but he will already have a nice twin size quilt for when he gets his big boy bed.

And today, for the 8th day we went to the mall (Ahhh!) and allowed our kids to use their gift certificates from their aunt. We got there a bit after opening, went it and go out just as the crowd was thickening. It was close but we had a good time.

The next few days are going to be crazy busy but hopefully we will have enough time to continue with our 12 days celebrations.
