A Christmas Chain

Since we have no ornaments on our downstairs tree. Well we actually had a few glass balls up until a few hours ago when Gretchen got a hold of one and broke it so I took them all off. Easton and I are going to make things to put on this tree at least for this year. Gretchen doesn't get to help because she will be sleeping while I do this each day with Easton.
Here is what we made today. If you know of any in expensive, easy to make, non breakable ornament ideas that a 3 year old can help make please let me know.

The Tree

It is December first and Christmas is just around the corner. We decorated the tree last night. I even let Easton do a lot of them and I don't think I am going to move them. We will see there is one little section that has a lot of ornaments because that is where he liked to put them.

This was probably the cutest and the biggest No No I could make. This little girl is naughty very very naughty and now that she put an ornament on the tree she thinks she can touch. Silly silly Mom.

We actually have two trees this year I am so excited. The second one is Ornamentless because it was one I used at college and I don't have the ornaments so I think Easton and I might make some for this year.

Thanksgiving!

This year for Thanksgiving we were in Idaho. It was fun lots of food and lots of family. I had big plans to take lots and lots of pictures. Somehow I only got like 3.

This is a picture of Great Grandpa and part of the Great Grand kids.

Gretchen couldn't make it through the pictures.

Easton had an awesome time. He didn't want to leave. He got to sleep over at his cousin Grayson's house one night and the next night his cousin Korbin slept over at Grandma and Grandpas. If we couldn't find him we always knew to look in the shop. He loves to go to the shop and Uncle Travis, Uncle Creed or Grandpa let him build all sorts of fun things.

On Friday morning I was able to go to Walmart bright and early and get a few things. I have to say I love the "Black Friday" Shopping. I prefer to go with someone but I had no one to go with this year and I did it all by myself. We had a very eventful and fun trip. I hope everyone had a Happy Thanksgiving!!!!

I love this picture. She is talking to the Kitties. I know you all think she doesn't talk because she only does when she is with her mom and dad but she was yelling Kitties. It was cute and you will just have to believe me.

Finnally!

Today we put the last feather on our Thankful Turkey. Easton everyday asked is it Thanksgiving yet. I don't know if he 100% knows what Thanksgiving is but he does know that the day before thanksgiving he gets to see his grandparents.

Easton and Gretchen our Thankful today that I let them watch a movie.

This is Gretchen's favorite seat lately.

You Gotta Love When....

So the best thing just happened. Gretchen walked into her room and went to her bed and waited for me to put her in. You gotta love when they want to go to sleep.

Turkey Cupcakes

For activity days this week we made Turkey cupcakes! Thanks Andrea for the great idea, it was a hit!!! Easton was way excited that there was a few leftovers so he could make his own. I actually think he just wanted to eat it.

This isn't a very good picture, but this is what they looked like except they had coconut on them also. I just didn't have coconut.

Here is Easton eating his lovely creation. This is mid bite.

This is Gretchen's first time licking the beater and oh man did she like that!!!

Transform to....

Today I over heard Easton talking to Gretchen. They were playing in Easton's room and I had just told Easton he needed to get dressed. A few minutes later I hear him say, "Gretchen now I am going to transform into Naked Guy!" I thought it was hilarious and had to write it down.
