So come by and say hi if you have time. :)
As for us, this weekend we had some of this...
We have spent a lot of the weekend decorating and getting ready for Christmas.
But on Sunday, Erin and I took a little break so she could go to a school birthday party at Build a Bear workshop.
She came home with that
little bear on the left as part of the party. I was surprised each child
got a bear, and it's a pretty nice bear. That is Ballerina Bunny on the
right. Erin received her on a trip to Build a Bear for her birthday present
two years ago. She says they are now sisters. :)
We tried to go see Santa while we were at the mall, but the line was way to long. We are going to try again one afternoon when the line will most likely be shorter. The malls are just crazy on the weekends here!
The Christmas tree is finally up though as of last night.
This is one of my favorite ornaments. We brought it back from Ireland with us after our trip there in 2009. A trip I will never, ever forget. :)
And the kids only have five more days of school. Then they get sixteen days off in a row for Christmas break! So I need to get tons done around here this week before Friday. Not sure how much I will be blogging between now and the holiday. But I will try.
Hope the holiday rush is not too crazy where you are right now. :)
Loving the photos!!! Her bear she made at the party is ADORABLE!!!!!! off to see your post!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWow, can't believe you had to brave the mall, but what a cute bear she made and your tree looks lovely! :)
ReplyDeleteErin's bear (and rabbit) is beautiful and I love the snowy picture at your place, we are just having lots of rain at the moment, fingers crossed for a white Christmas. Just in case you do not get the chance to blog again, I hope you have a wonderful Christmas and a very happy and healthy New Year! Hugs, Anne x
