We’ve been slow to get in the Christmas spirit this year, so I feel like we’re packing a lot of our favorite Christmas activities into this week leading up to Christmas. The kids and I made Christmas cookies on Thursday and more today. Last night we had a family dinner night out of the house then drove around looking at Christmas lights. I finished the shopping for the kids yesterday. My husband’s picking up a few more things today.
The kids made these cute ornaments at storytime yesterday. 
They make great additions to our tiny tree. (And if it weren’t for library storytime, we might not do any crafts at all. I lack the patience gene required for doing crafts with my kids.)
And this really has nothing to do with Christmas, but Phil worked late one day last week and stopped at the discount grocery store to grab a treat for me. He knows me so well.
And our Christmas cards are not yet in the mail, so here’s a preview. It might be more like a New Year’s card. What can you do?
