Our Little Santas

The boys are definitely in the Christmas spirit. Brendan wakes up almost every morning and asks me if it's Christmas day yet! And Aidan, well, you'll just have to watch the video below to see Aidan's new trick!

Aidan has now decided to say "Ho, Ho, Ho!" whenever ANYONE even says the word "Santa". So, when I got Brendan out of bed this morning, the conversation went like this:
Brendan: Is is Christmas day yet?
Mommy: No, sweetie, it's still just Christmas TIME (we've been working on the difference between the two).
Brendan: Did Santa Claus bring me presents?
Aidan: "Ho, Ho, Ho!"
. . . My crazy little Santas!

The Second Time's the Charm: Christmas Plaid Freebie(s)

Ok, so my links below didn't work. Can you tell I'm new at this?!! I think I've got it this time. Here is the preview of Christmas Plaid Part Two:

The papers have chalked edges, and they include the folded over paper with the star button. There are more elements than on the preview (they just wouldn't all fit!), AND there is an ALPHA included in the elements download.
And HERE are the download links:

I hope THAT works!! Thanks for putting up with my lack of computer skills!

Christmas Time

So, this post was originally my first try at uploading those links above. But, since I've got that all covered now, I thought I'd let everyone know how we are doing. Brendan is officially enthralled with Christmas. We have been praying (yes, I said praying) for Santa Claus EVERY SINGLE NIGHT SINCE LAST CHRISTMAS!!!! We are now going on 340+ days of praying for Santa Claus. Well, I sure hope he's good to the kid this year. Adian is officially enthralled with the Christmas TREE. His new hobby is hitting it with any sort of destructive implement which may be at his disposal (a toy ax (yes, we have a toy ax, don't ask), a toy hammer, etc.). He also likes to take off ornaments and RUN so that mommy has to chase him around the house to retrieve them. Yes, both the boys are enjoying Christmas time to its fullest extent. Now, it's time for mommy to enjoy hers. . . off to make a cup of hot chocolate and munch on the cookies a neighbor brought by this afternoon (I have the BEST neighbors :)).
