Christmas Break

The kids are home from school this week for Christmas. Steven finished his last term on the 16th and has three weeks off. We've enjoyed this week at home. We've had a lot of activities to keep us busy, besides the preparations for the upcoming holiday. On Monday, the kids pulled out the Legos and made a movie: Lego Man's Adventure. I crocheted an angel for our Christmas Tree. On Tuesday, the kids made another movie with the Legos: Lego Man's Day. We also put together our Gingerbread house. On Wednesday and Thursday, we pulled out the beads. These beads are placed on pegboards, and then ironed together. Today is Friday. We are going to tour a Candy Factory right now. Merry Christmas everyone!!!
