Holiday Happenings

I apologize that it has taken me nearly a month for a new blog post.  We are in full-swing of the holiday season which means we are extra busy with Christmas activities, decorating, shopping, etc.  I finally have a moment to off load some our pictures from the past month and put them together in a blog post.

To start off with, sometime in November the girls had a random day off from school due to a teacher work day.  We took advantage of this vacation day and visited the Jelly Belly Factory in Fairfield.  It was a really fun time with my girls!




After the Jelly Belly Factory, we headed to Nut Tree (in Vacaville) to ride the carousel and eat some ice cream at Fentons...yummy!



Christmas Time!!!

Two days after Thanksgiving we got our Christmas tree...a beautiful Noble Fir.

Kate and Maggie LOVE hanging all the ornaments on the tree.  You can tell where Maggie has placed her ornaments since they are always in a clump, right at her height.




After the tree was all decorated, the girls started to decorate gingerbread houses.  Thankfully you can find really nice kits at Michael's craft store that come with all the gingerbread, frosting and candy.

The girls also put together these Christmas foam kits (also from Michael's)

We are all ready for Christmas!!!
