We open the first day of the advent calendar today (or at least we would if I had remembered to hang the advent boxes yesterday but I will get to it today, I promise. Yes, I will!)
And it's the first day of Shimelle's Journal Your Christmas class. (You can check that out right here: http://shimelle.com/)
And it's the annual pancake breakfast with Santa sponsored by the kids' daycare.
And did I mention that Tim Holtz has a blog? Okay, okay, I know you are probably getting tired of hearing about it, but he is doing an awesome 12 days of Christmas tutorial teaching a different technique every day. With giveaways! http://www.timholtz.typepad.com/
And Sophia on Two Peas posted a Christmas blog challenge with a question for every day of the season. Today's prompt: Colored lights or white lights on your house, or none at all? We have traditionally been a white lights kind of family. I just like the timeless elegance, the little burst of "ah" you feel when you see those beautiful white lights shining in the darkness. But the last few years, as our kids get older, I think we've gotten a bit more playful and Justin has added some colored light accents in the yard... on a tree and on the wrought iron fence. He is mostly in charge of the outdoor decor and every year he seems to get more ambitious. Can't wait to see what he has in store this year!
My tummy is telling me it's time to go get some pancakes. Justin's snores are telling me it might take a while to get everyone out the door. I think it might be time to play some Transiberian Orchestra!
