We went to visit Santa last week and I'm happy to report that it was a successful visit! Abby went through a few ads to cut out some pictures for her wish list and we glued them on a piece of paper. This was a huge help in getting her to talk to Santa. After a few minutes of chatting, Abby was ready to sit on his lap. Here is this year's picture:
There is nothing more magical than watching your children experience Santa!
I had to give him something to wash it down with, so I tried some grape juice in a straw type sippy and that was a hit too!
What a big day for Ben!
Abby and I are working on our Christmas countdown as of yesterday.
Her "20 days to go" sock had a paper chain kit in it and we put together 40 links and will be hanging it on her bed once we get a few more added on. She loves to glue and stick them on! Here is what we have so far:
Today she got a foam magnet to put together. We had fun testing out the magnet to see which side needed the glue (so much for that fingerprint free fridge...).
Well, 14 out of 30 is, um...... Not so good. So today I have to be thankful for your forgiveness and understanding, assuming you are willing to give it! I have no excuses other than I'm a mom of two who's sanity rests on the condition of her house and how well the children napped that day. And as you might guess, some days are better than others :)
It's a pj Sunday at the Johnson house and Abby has found her box of foam stickies. Let the fun begin!
I'm not sure exactly what a starlight is or does but it sure is pretty. There is no debating that she is my daughter: she is crafty AND repurposes almost anything. I love it!
