Merry Christmas
What a wonderful Christmas we had this year! We ended up celebrating Christmas for 6 days. The boys did a great job with all of the traveling we did this year.
Charlie was really getting into the Christmas spirit. We were really working hard on why we have Christmas. We discussed how it is Jesus' birthday and that is why we celebrate. He seemed to understand, but then he would get wrapped up in all of the presents. It doesn't help that he was spoiled again this year.
It was so much fun to watch Hudson this year. Every time he opened a present, he would say "WOW!". Then he would want you to get it out of the packaging as soon as possible and would not open another gift until you did.

We were very fortunate to spend lots of family time.

Staying extra busy
The month of December is just flying by. We have been extra busy with our Advent calendar:
Day 5: We decorated our Christmas tree. The boys had a blast doing this. It was so much fun watching them get so excited. Usually they loose interest really fast, but they both stayed interested the whole time.
Day 6: We went and purchased a present for Toys for Tots. Charlie picked out what he thought would be a great gift for a boy in need.
Day 7: It finally snowed, so we made snow ice cream.
With all of the craziness, I have been trying to be a little more organized. I have found that means I am becoming "The Bag Lady".
This is what my table looked like this morning as I was trying to get everything ready. First was my purse. Then Charlie's backpack for preschool. Then the boy's backpack for daycare. After that is my school bag with papers I was correcting. Finally, my lunch bag.
I have also been wondering why we are planning on buying the boys any toys when they are entertained by a box for hours.
