Samantha and Ben love to make snowflakes...we made a bunch and hung them up in the toy room (thanks for idea Kaylani)!
They have loved playing with this little Nativity...so cute!
We have done TONS of baking...orange rolls, sugar cookies, peanut butter blossoms, cinnamon rolls...etc! The kids love to help in the kitchen!
We also slept under the Christmas tree one night...this was a tradition that I did as a kid and LOVED! Ben said this is favorite thing about Christmas...Benson and Nate didn't last the night and by the morning I was so sore...being pregnant and sleeping under the tree wasn't a good combo for me...but it was worth it for the memories (or at least I tell myself that)! Samantha and Ben told me in the morning that they heard Santa Claus come and check on them while they were sleeping...isn't that awesome?
We also painted some ornaments for the tree...we actually made several ornaments this year but I some how only got a picture of this activity!
Nate has recently liked crafting...he used to hate it, but he has finally taken up the idea of painting!
Samantha LOVES to do projects and would do them ALL DAY long if I let her! She loved making ornaments this year and has homemade me SEVERAL Christmas gifts already and has promised more to come on Christmas Day!
Jingle Bell bracelets...for some reason my kids totally love to make these! Totally a hit!
We have had such a wonderful Holiday season...Benson always laughs at me because I am always a little sad on Christmas...I don't want the season to be over! I love this time of year and the kids make it so much fun!

It IS sad when it's all over! There's nothing like all the festivities of Christmastime. Looks like you guys had tons of fun!
I love kids at Christmas. I LOVE the slumber party under the Christmas tree. That is Definately somthing I will have to do when Payten is old enough.
Annie would love to play with Sammi again. Maybe on Friday. We are going skiing Tomarrow, but will be home Wednesday. Call 988-0745
The slumber party under the Christmas tree is such a good idea! I would've loved it when I was little... Not that I'm that old... I would probably still like it!
Helloo, me again. I just found an old comment from someone who shouldn't be reading my blog, so I'm setting it to private... Can I have your email again? I know you sent it to me on Facebook, but I can't find the message.
Don't you just love Christmas! I swear it's just as fun as an adult as it was when we were kids. Hope you guys had a good one.
What fun traditions! Happy Holidays.
