The Days Before Christmas...

The Days Before Christmas....

--------

The Days Before Christmas have been filled with lots of activity in preparation of the BIG day....My sons were dressed in the dreaded (but cute) matching sweaters....

and we went to a "Christmas Birthday Party" as Preston calls it with our BFSG group last week...and they exchanged gifts and ate lots of yummy food...Definitely our kind of party! Funny how I kept trying to correct my son that it was a Christmas Party not a Birthday Party....only to realize he was actually right if you think about it...it is after all a celebration of Jesus' Birthday...I think we have a genius on our hands....Here is the group...minus Ms Lucy and Zoey...

We have also had lots of cold and snowy weather...Preston BEGGED to put on his snowboots and go outside during one of our recent bouts of snow...Obviously, not worried about needing snowpants...don't worry Mommy took the time (30 minutes) to get all bundled up...for 2 minutes of play in the snow before Preston was "ALL Done"...We didn't even have time to take a picture...He informed me he did not like the snow and it was time to go in for a snack...Honestly--It didn't bother me, Mommy does not like the snow either!

After realizing none of us like the snow...we came up with a new plan for the next frigid day that involved eating...a love of everyone's in this house...We built a Gingerbread Christmas tree...It was a team effort...and every bulb was placed by Mr P...We were quite impressed!

and Daddy and Ashten have been doing a lot of this lately as they prepare for the big day...yes, they need their energy to open all the fun gifts!!

Mommy has been having a blast out amongst the crazy shoppers looking for last minute things on the christmas list...Yes, I am nutty because I truly do love the madness and chaos...only though when I am by myself and I can swoop in and out...it is my own little private paradise of fun...
