We've spent most of this month getting ready for Christmas and now we're pretty much done with everything: I've sent cards, baked cookies, decorated the house inside and out, sewed stockings, made an advent calendar, bought and wrapped all my gifts, and even made 28 gifts by hand (the number sounds impressive, but in fact they were all really easy to make).Decorating the house was also easy this year because I wound up repurposing several items from Lucas and Veronika's shower.
Gifts waiting for this weekend:
We also visited Santa but this year Beatrice was terrified of him - the closest we could get her to come was to sit on a tricycle near Santa, and even that she was pretty iffy about.
On the plus side, Beatrice loves Christmas songs, lights, and decorations. She learned to say "tree" and every morning she kisses all of the ornaments on the Christmas tree individually. She also likes eating candy out of the advent calendar and dancing to "Jingle Bells."
Tonight we let her try to decorate sugar cookies. Hilariously, she initially refused to eat them because preschool has drilled into her the idea that you can't eat craft supplies (like playdough, crayons, stickers, etc.).
