Feeling Crafty.

I have always loved Arts & Crafts. Just never the extra time or money.

I have decided that I want to do more craft fun with the kids since they are getting older, and they
absolutely LOVE it.

Yesterday, The girls and I escaped and went to Dollar Tree to get some Craft tools.

We got:

• Tissue Boxes
• Glue
• Stickers
• Glitter
• Construction Paper
• Tape
• Crayons

And we had some things around the house already like a toilet paper roll, and a Styrofoam cup.

Kharter didn't do much participating, but he had fun with stickers and crayons!

With these supplies we ended up with a Train to "pull" in the Christmas Countdown. 

Aleigh's is the engine with ICarly stickers, the Chimney and Light.
Aubree's is the middle one with the Dora stickers.
and Landon's is the Caboose with Race car stickers!

I will keep with forever!

Later on that night we decided to watch a Christmas Movie and Drink some Godiva Hot Cocoa! Delicious!

We blew up an air mattress in the living room, cuddled up and watched The Elf.

Some families do not take advantage of the Holiday spirit. So glad my babies have a huge family that celebrates the reason for the season.

Today when we woke up, we ate our breakfast and decided to make a Calendar to count down the next 5 days until Christmas! My kiddos are getting so excited!

Aleigh decorated a five to look like a lady bug.

Landon turned his four into a Ninja Turtle.

Aubree made a three into a Dora.

 Kharter colored a beautiful 2! I finished up the One and Zero.

Tonight we will pull off the Five!

I think we just started a family tradition in the Francis house!
