Holiday Time, Week 2 !

This past week was Nate's last week of school - he had a special last day, as they made Christmas trees out of waffle cones (and mommy received a special homemade ornament) and also had a pajama/bring your stuffed animal day. The last day of school I decided to make the boys holiday lunches -

Aaron's lunch : candy cane shaped fruit, grilled cheese tree, marshmallows for dessert and Ho Ho milk (I cooked/strained some strawberries to make it red)

Nate's lunch : Santa PBJ, snowman string cheese, snowman milk, snowmen marshmallows and Grinch shaped fruit kabobs

On our first day of winter break I dished out some holiday crafts -

Overflowing!

 

That evening we went to the Polar Express event at our local recreation center - this year was even more fun because we ran into a bunch of friends!

Aaron and his friend Miles - they bargained and switched each other cookies

Always enjoy craft time

We love Santa!

I also spent the week finishing shopping and wrapping, and kinda some baking...darn, for all the cookies we received at our cookie exchange, I still have more to do! Looks like I'll be scrambling to do that tomorrow. Merry Christmas!
