Christmas is NOT over!

That's what liv said.

Whether Christian and celebrating the 12 days of Christmas(epiphany) or pagan and celebrating the 12 days of Yule- she is correct!

The holiday spirit has NOT left our house, in any matter.

We put together some Christmas present puzzles... By twinkling lights...



Emers and his beloved birthday gift...





Hung the last of our cards...


Emers took his first nap not in my arms(or carrier)!!!! This is a seriously liberating thing here.


Ira playin with her faeries....


Then when Jared got home he got sucked into a puzzle with the girls....


Even when the girls moved on to sticker gingerbread houses... He pressed on.











His masterpiece....


The girls gingerbread houses...


We read a few of these stories, watched the grinch who stole Christmas and went to bed. Good day all around.

Friday

New ornaments...











Family that draws together.....





RAIN!!!!


Ira and I threaded two bags of cranberries. Took FOREVER, but much healthier and better for the earth than the plastic stuff at target!





Jared thinks it makes an awesome necklace.


Ira and liv then made this totally plastic and foam fake garland from a kit from target.... Ya know, to offset my cranberries.








Then they hung it up in the playroom...

Rainy rainy days....

There has been Christmas card writing...





And cutting...

















This is my creative card from Ira....











Pillow fort buster...

Sunday! Tree!!!

Legos...











Tree trimming! It smells so good!

















The kids playing under the tree brought back sooooooo many memories of my childhood.











I finally finished crocheting clarice and rudolphs collars and cape. Liv insisted he needed a cape.













Ira wanted a necklace to match, but she gets itchy from wool... And I only had blue cotton- so she got a blue necklace- she loves it.






Finished up a Christmas present. liv's chime anklets!

No Shopping for us!

Woke up and went for a walk to the park!


























Then came home and took naps...








After dark, we drove into the city for Macy's tree lighting in union square....
