Is it Christmas time yet?

The day after Halloween Chanse asked "is it Christmas time yet?" And Ben answered with "YES!" I couldn't believe my ears. So then Chanse wanted to get candy canes. We went out and got some candy canes and some socks. (I got 2 packages of socks at JcPenney and only spent $0.52.) Anyways We got home and Chanse had to open the boxes of candy canes to decorate. He switched all the light switches up and hung candy canes on each one. So cute. We have been listening to Christmas music and watching Christmas movies. Chanse loves A Christmas Story! I like that one. Chanse has been playing Santa. He has red pajamas and a Santa hat. He fills a bag with toys and says "HO HO! Santa's coming." He then passes out the toys. He gave Hero a princess and said "here is a beautiful princess for Hero." So cute. Today he was Santa and we had to take pictures of the girls on Santa's lap. So Cute!!

Today we also went to a marionette show of The Frog Prince. The kids loved it. At the end we stayed for a question answer time and we could see the marionettes and we were the last ones to leave. The kids kept asking to see each marionette again. Then Chanse and Hero wanted to make marionettes. Hero wanted a princess and Chanse wanted a witch. SO I found scraps of fabric, old socks, yarn, Styrofoam cups and straws and we made a blue witch and a pink princess. The kids just loved their marionettes.
