Christmas tree shopping

20131209-234450.jpg

We went to Home Depot as unusual to buy our tree. It was really crowded and the pickings were slim, but I think Jillian and Olivia did a really great job picking out the tree!

When we got home we got right to work setting up the tree. Unfortunately our stands of lights were not working which put a cramp in our tree decorating ๐Ÿ™

Eventually we found a working strand and noir our tree has lights, no ornaments yet but the tree will be beautiful before our gingerbread house party on Saturday ๐Ÿ™‚

Elf Day 9

Sparkle and Rarity decided to have some Keebler Elf cookies! Mmm I love these cookies, hopefully I can restrain myself from eating them all ๐Ÿ˜‰

The girls had a lot of fun with the headbands anyways!

Elf Day 6

 

I have been battling a cold for some time now. Thursday I began to lose my voice, so I went to bed early that night. It’s not easy being a teacher without a voice!

Sparkle decided that she was going to be a good elf that night since I wasn’t feeling well, and played on the Lego table again.

Jillian was a bit confused as to why Sparkle did not move. We explained to her that Sparkle really likes Legos and we thought that she wanted to play with them some more. ย Whew!

 

Side note… one of these days the girls are going to learn to read and want to read about themselves… I have to keep that in mind when writing all of these posts ๐Ÿ˜‰
