We are planning all sorts of things like this to do....my little ones are so excited.
I'm so jealous that you have the Little People Nativity set. I tried last year to get it for M, but it is not available over here in the UK....the only ones are on e-bay selling for something like 5 times the price you can buy them for in America! I have seen it much cheaper this year, on the US sites, but they don't ship to the UK! Perhaps next year I will get myself organised in time to locate it and have it here in time for December.
I'm pleased that you are doing much better. I hope that you have a great December!
Hugs xo
We're not counting down...yet. Maybe next year Sarah Beth will be old enough to understand and have fun.
I love your Christmas countdown! I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas :)
It sounds like a lot of fun for your boys! My kids are always excited about Christmas. Enjoy the blessings of the season!
It sounds like SO much fun!
Hope everyone is feeling better now. A blessed Christmas to you and your family friend!~
