December 1st-7th

Christmas celebrations are in full swing

at The Fantastic Five...

Saturday:

We began our Advent celebration with a

"Build-Your-Snowman" Breakfast,

brought to us by our

Elf on the Shelf,

Chester

(aka Chess).

Later in the morning,

we finished decorating our Christmas tree,

and ended our day by going to

Dollywood Lights.

An EXCELLENT way to kick off the Advent Season...

******************************

Sunday:

The kiddos debuted two new songs

during the services with the 

His Kids choir.

Little Wild Man wore his new

Angry Birds tie-

a gift from his Marmee.

He looked smashing,

if I do say so myself...

*****************************

Monday-Wednesday:

We did school,

with a "gingerbread twist,"

and participated in some other Advent activities,

which you can read about 

by clicking HERE.

I will admit,

school has been light as of late,

and will be until 

after the holidays.

We do keep up with Math and Reading,

but other subjects get

"pushed to the side"

in lieu of Christmas Fun...

Thursday:

After dropping off some sweet treats

for a sweet friend,

the kiddos and I headed over to

help my mom clean out her garage

for a garage sale.

I love looking through all the treasures

my Mom has stored away.

I came home with four completed 

quilt tops by my grandmother and great-grandmother-

guess what I want to learn to do now?  :0)

*****************************

Friday:

We cleaned up the house,

did some Math,

and then headed out to a birthday party.

While the kiddos danced the evening away,

Super Dad and I did a little Christmas shopping.

I am so excited for the kiddos

to open their prezzies on Christmas morning!
