This year, I decided to have a holiday wrap up weekend. It was the last weekend in January and we decided it was time to take down the Christmas tree and put away the decorations.
We planned all the festivities to include: baking cookies (one last batch), listening to carols (that hasn't really stopped), un-decorating the tree, playing some games we received as gifts and putting away the decorations. The girls were very excited, and so was I.....
The un-decorating of the tree was very fun and much easier with the girls helping me. It was kind of like a hide and seek, or an eye spy game. They were helpful and careful and it was fun. The cookies went well and we had fun playing games, but the BIG surprise was waking up to snow here in town on Sunday morning!!!!!
We didn't have much, more of a dusting, really, BUT we had enough on driveway to give sledding a try. Now, for those of you who haven't visited, our driveway is VERY steep, which usually is NOT an asset, but for today it was!!!
Our neighbor came over to help load the kids up- and My Man stood at the bottom to catch them as they cannon-balled down the driveway!
This one kept her feet dragging to slow her down a bit.
This gal was all about SPEED!
Look at that face!
Looks like we invented a new family holiday.....I am sure there will be plenty of snow for sledding for the "Wrap up Weekend" back in the States : )
