my little helper
December is busy and fun. The girls are excited about everything, and had a week off school (while their preschool's marching band was in Kuala Lumpur!) So, we've filled our days with playdates and outings, crafts and baking. Somehow we forgot to wear aprons for this one.
Here are some of the things we've done:
-made wrapping paper (we have an endless supply of packing paper)
-prepared packages to mail home
-watched the Nutcracker
-made a gingerbread house
-date night at the Stake musical presentation
-decorated old formula cans with pictures of baked goods from magazines to use for the treats we are giving away
-watched Charlie Brown's Christmas (where the girls learned the word "stupid"...great! But, I do have to say they thought Snoopy was hilarious, and I got to enjoy their genuine belly laughs.)
-made snowflakes with friends
-read Christmas books at an English library
-played with friends and nannies while the moms did a cooking exchange
-watched old Christmas specials like the claymation Rudolf at a friends' (and subsequently had nightmares about the abominable snowman)
-got hair cuts and an iced chocolate at a chocolate cafe
-made popcorn balls for the first time (very proud that they turned out since our candy thermometer broke)
-ward Christmas party
