'Tis the Season

Yesterday the girls and I had a full day of celebrating Christmas. Natalie keeps asking ' is today Christmas?' and I keep trying to explain we celebrate for the whole month leading up til Christmas, but the actually day is in a couple weeks. Here are some pictures of the girls at a cookie exchange we went to in the morning. They LOVED it!  We had lunch, decorated gingerbread men, and sang Christmas carols around the piano. When Mrs. Hatley asked if anyone knew what a king is, Natalie answered, "It's when you are very powerful." She's seen kings in fairytales, but I thought it was perceptive of her to describe it this way.

 

 

Last night, our bookclub got together for yummies and exchanging books. We all received a book from someone's home library. We had a great time talking, eating and discussing what book we should read next. Can't wait 'til next year!

we got one of those felt calendars with 24 little pockets. the one we got has a nativity scene at the bottom and you move a star for what day you are on. it has really helped adyn understand that we are anticipating christmas all month but the actual celebration is in the future...you should get one!

We have an advent calendar...isn't helping!When we went to get our tree yesterday, Natalie said, "We can't get it today, it's not Christmas." Again, we tried to explain the Christmas SEASON!
