Let it sparkle, let it shine

Recently, Clare and I took a trip to the dollar store to for some things to make Christmas crafts. Well let me tell you we hit the glitter jackpot! We got glitter glue, glitter shakers and some Christmas ornaments to decorate. As soon as we got home she got to work. Feverishly squeezing gobs of glue out and sprinkling glitter over it. We have some beautiful pictures that are still in the "drying" process. The best part of this ongoing Christmas decoration extravaganza is that our whole house is sparkling with glitter!

Sean and I were picking up some toys in the playroom Friday night and he says "Man there's glitter everywhere!" My response was, "Oh, I don't mind the glitter, I just hate having the toys all over the place." He just smirked and shook his head. He's a good sport about it.

Christmas Challenge

This has been a somewhat hectic fall for us. In an effort to slow down and enjoy the holiday season a little more this year I've given my family a challenge. We are going to keep track of how many Santa's we can find out and about this year. I'm hoping we can capture some of these moments on Sean's fancy phone. I'll keep you all posted on our progress.
