The girls love these jingle bell necklaces and they are insanely simple to make. We purchased the bells at Hobby Lobby and then put them on thin ribbon with a knot. They wear them everywhere and of course, they make a lot of noise. Sometimes the noise is good...and sometimes, well it is not so good. But the girls love them. And yes, they wear their jumpers all the time and I did not bribe them to put them on for the picture.
Tonight the girls are decorating a large brown box with Christmas rubber stamps and green and red ink pads. The box contains a gift for me and this is much easier than wrapping it.
I have a couple cheesecakes made for neighbors that I need to deliver tonight, and still a few more to make. Plus we have not made our cookies yet either......maybe we'll save them as a Christmas Eve activity. Tomorrow we will run a few last minute errands.
Last night I started sewing a new dress for Elisabeth and knitting a vest for Ethan. I am not sure how much time I will be able to spend on them this coming week with all the festivities of the holidays....but I'll certainly squeeze in as much time here and there as I can. In the meantime, I'll enjoy Emily playing Jingle Bells on the piano....and I just may join in since that is one of the duets we learned to play together.

It sounds like you have a lot on your plate this weekend. Creating fond memories and traditions is hard work-especially to make it look effortless. Just imagine how your kids will look back fondly on this time of year as they grow up!
