Monday morning when the boys came downstairs they were excited to see the tree decorated. Jack kept pointing out the ornaments..."I see Santa", "I see snowman", "I see bike"!! It was quite refreshing seeing such excitement. Then when we came back from an afternoon walk the lights were on the tree...the timer set off while we were out. Jack and Ewan were both thrilled to see the tree lit up!
So that's life around here, gearing up for the holidays. Tomorrow we've got a holiday potluck with our playgroup at our house. That should be fun and yummy! We've also got some cookie exchanges coming up and other fun activities. Time to think if there are any new traditions we want to start with the boys...we've carried on the St. Nick ornament tradition, and of course homemade pizza for Christmas Eve dinner and mimosa brunch Christmas morning. Time to come up with a new Dalrymple tradition to add to the season!
In other news....the weekend away from the kids, hubs and dog went well. We ate out and were lazy the whole time!! Well we cooked some too I guess. I also got both the boys' scrapbooks done and the family album worked on until I ran out of tape!! Oma started knitting Ewan's hat...the ear flaps are done. We also got the yarn for Jack' hat too. They are the most adorable patterns!! We did end the weekend with drugs and drinking...stopped by the Minute Clinic. We both have sinus infections!! So even being sick I got a good amount done, amazing what you can accomplish without the kids!!!
