As our first activity on Christmas break, Sara had a friend over to make gingerbread houses. I completely forgot to get something to use for the foundation but we used cups and it turned out okay. The girls made a mess and got plenty of sugar!
Lily was not into making the house as much as she was helping to taste everything! I made her house and she devoured it later.
Jacob went to play at a friend's house while Sara had a friend over so, he got to make one when he got home later. Notice the guards on top of his fort.
We went to a Christmas Eve dinner at Cathy's house and I finally had some time on my hands to get the girls hair the way I had in mind. This is my sweet Lily from the front. She has been taking the scissors to her beautiful locks lately to trim it. I keep taking them away and putting her in time out but she does not seem to care that she gets in trouble for it. She will be bald in a month at the rate she's cutting! I don't even know where she is getting the scissors from!
This is a quick shot from the back. I found these ornaments on sale at Michaels and just had to put them in their hair! So cute and super easy. I just started a french braid on half piggies off a diagonal part. Then I pulled it all back in a tucked up pony. I used bobby pins to hold the ornaments in and then hair spray!
This "Cindy-Loohoo" do was much more complicated. I was worried I wouldn't be able to really get the full effect on Sara that I was going for because her hair is really short. I added a bunch of ponies at the bottom and worked my way up from there. I added pipe cleaner in alternating colors from the bottom as I worked my way up and twisted them around the ponies as I went. I put it all in a pony at the top and started adding ornaments and ribbons after that.
She was so excited to show everyone her crazy hair. Everyone loved it and she made a beautiful angel for the skit at Nannies house.
On our way home Lily was so tired and Sara was being such a cheese I had to get a shot....it turned out so cute....I just love it. Looks like Sara is "raising the roof".lol
On Christmas Eve the kids get to open a gift that we get them and I always get them new pj's. Sara was closing her eyes till she got it opened..so funny.
Green! Sara's new favorite color is green and she got a bunch of new green clothes! Jacob was a little let down at getting clothes.
Ok, maybe REALLY let down! Ha-ha! He got so many toys in the morning that he completely forgot his let down!
It took a few minutes to get their hair down and it was really good looking afterward!
....and of course my crazy kids had to pose for me in their new clothes.
