Our New Christmas Tradition


I am so excited, I found a new Christmas tradition. While I was reading all the great ideas on Works For Me Wednesday ,I found a great new tradition. On Training Tons of Sons she suggests wrapping 24 books and reading on each night. My kids will love unwrapping a present, and then getting to read a book. After I read that I went and found 24 Christmas and winter books and wrapped them. They are already under out homemade ornament tree.
I love that tip.

What a great idea and you go girl for having 24 Christmas and winter books just laying around your house! I guess that's what all those trips to Goodwill are good for!!

I love that idea too. I saw that at Scribbit (not sure if that is where you saw it too). Isn't that just CLEVER! And what a beautiful tree I might add.

The thought of wrapping all those books makes me tired. I think it is a good idea, though.

We are doing this idea also! Except my kids wrapped up the books (most of the books are too young for them)...we didn't have enough so we added our Christmas movies to the mix. Then hubby had us number all the packages (since the kids wrapped them they know what is what in the package)...and then we draw a number and that is the number we open.

I've been looking at all your fun crafty stuff. You look like a fun mom.

Super Easy Volcanos

I love this project it is so easy and only takes a short amount of prep time. Cheyanne loves making the volcano erupt. We used: plastic plate, plastic cup, aluminium foil, tape, vinegar, baking soda and red food coloring. Tape the bottom of the cup to the center of the plate. Cover with aluminium foil. Cut a hole in the center of the foil and push the edges down in the cup. Spoon in some baking soda. Pour in the vinegar. Watch it erupt.
