Beauty Bar
I love all the girly toys I got for Christmas. This one makes me dance and clap! The tune is quite catchy (or annoying depending who you ask and/or how may times you hear it in a given hour).
Twas the Night Before Christmas
'Christmas Bear' is my new go-to animal for bedtime (Grandpa gave him to Mommy when she was little).
Spelling in the Tub
(sometimes I don't have enough letters to spell correctly but I do my best - here I am going for 'Tigger and Pooh')
Reece's Christmas Program
Today at school we had our Christmas Program - in my class, the boys dressed as Joseph and the girls as Mary. We sung several songs (I didn't do a lot of dancing [but you'll notice NONE of the boys did] and it took me a while to find my bell) but my solo-stage debut came with 'C is for Cattle' when we performed the Christmas ABCs.
After our performance we had lunch and a book exchange. I got the Bernstain Bears, No Girls Allowed (its one of my new favorites).
Santa
Last year our trip to visit Santa was a bust but this year no one cried and we got a nice photo. Reece even talked to Santa a little - Santa asked him what he wanted and when he didn't respond Santa asked him, 'toys'? Reece responded, 'for my stocking'.
Reece is excited to move the candy cane each day in our calendar and both he and Madelyn enjoy dancing with our 'Rocking Santa'. Thus far Reece has no awareness/anticipation of receiving gifts. We have greatly enjoyed watching all of the animated Christmas shows as a family. Reece's favorite this year are Mickey's Once Upon a Christmas and Mickey's Twice Upon a Christmas.
Getting Ready for Christmas
We haven't gotten to do a lot of Christmas activities this year because we've had the sniffles/RSV.
PS - do you all know how challenging it is to get 2 kids to look at 1 camera at the same time (let alone get them to smile)?
