This week the girls are on vacation and we've been sleeping in, drinking hot cocoa with marshmallows I bought back from the States last week, watching movies (Polar Express 4x, It's a Wonderful Life 1x, Charlie Brown's Christmas 2x, Christmas Story 1x, you get the idea). Wrapping presents, doing our advent calendar treasure hunt each day, making cookies and peppermint bark, listening to holiday songs, doing arts-n-crafts for gifts and for fun, reading some of out favorite holiday books. It's been nice. Very nice.
