Adam and Hallie were baffled when I told them we were going to make snowmen. They kept sayng "but there is no snow". I told them I had magic snow, and had the table ready with the magic ingredients. We do a lot of family crafts and we had a blast making indoor magic-snow snowmen :) I taught Adam the fun trick with Elmer's glue where you put some on your hand, spread it out, wait for it to dry and peel it off. He thought that was so neat, and was convincing Hallie it was his skin.
Also, there is this really cool Christmas house by my parents house, and the lights play to music. We drive that way home at night whenever possible, its so fun to watch! All I can think of when I see it is how much code they must have to do for it! That's the nerd in me.
There is also a picture of the kids dressed up like turtles. We have a lot of costumes here (thanks to Garage Sales and clearance after Halloween) and quite often Adam and Hallie will dissapear and in their place is a turtle, a mouse, a princess, a prince..... We let them wear their costumes any time of year, I love their imagination, and we love to encourage it.
If you click on the slideshow below, and go to the last picture of the holiday house, there is a brief video you can watch!
