Christmas Eve 2010 Recap

Christmas Eve was a very busy day in my house...I do not think I sat down all day long!! My ankles were SO swollen at the end of the day...but it was all worth it.

First Tornado had to finish the craft projects he was working on for his Grandparents.

He also had to finish painting the picture frames for his preschool picture.
Next year I have to remember that doing this many at one time is TOO much for a preschool boy!! We will have to break it up next year.

Than we moved onto making the gingerbread house!!
Yes I did cheat and buy an already assembled house.

Good thinking on Dad's part: We broke out more candy for the house too!! The little balls and red candies were not enough.

Posing for a picture.

The finished product!!

Tornado called it Santa's workshop.

Also in the making of the house there were candies eaten by EVERYONE!! What fun would it be if you could not "test" the candy!!??!!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Other things/projects I had to complete on this day:

~We went shopping, yes I am crazy for venturing out, for PJ's for Christmas Eve. But Dad had mentioned getting new PJ's a few days before and Tornado was not letting us forget this. Believe it or not Wal-mart was not that busy OR we just shopped where the crowd was not.

We also grabbed a few knickknacks, one being a present for Dad. BUT when we got home what does the little turkey do...he goes into the bags and gives Dad the present we just bought him. LOL

~Baked banana bread for Christmas Day, which never even got touched. LOL

~Baked M&M Cookies for Santa

~Cleaned the house so it was nice and clean for Christmas

~Caught up on laundry

~Had a mini panic attack because Tornado started to get a rash/hives and well I had just tossed his allergy medicine because it was expired. Yes, I sure did have it on the list for grocery shopping BUT that would not help NOW. It was about 8:00pm and everything that I knew was closed. SO, I decided to try calling Shoppers to see if it was open....OMG they were!! So off to the store I went. In the end it cleared up on its own BUT Murphy's law is that it would have gotten worse if I didn't get the medicine.

I think about wraps it up...but I could be wrong.

Tornado's Crafts

Christmas Cards 2010

Tornado's Homemade Christmas Cards!!

Sept. - Nov. 2010 Preschool Art

He was soooo very proud of his Rainbow...it stayed up on our fridge for 2 months!!!

Tiger Mask

This leaf has got to be one of his all time favorites so far. The day they made it he came home and ripped open his backpack looking for it. Well it was not there because it was kept at school to display on the wall. This created a melt down SO the next day of preschool I told Tornado to take me into the classroom and show me his leaf. Now that it is home it has taken the place of the rainbow...lets see how long this one stays on the fridge.

Doctor Anyone

Does Anyone need a doctor?!?!

Here are the turtles we made :) The first one we both made and Tornado made the other one by himself. Tornado laughs at his and says he made it funny looking.

Tornado's First People Art!!

We are all sitting on the couch and Tornado comes up and picks up my paper and pen and starts to draw. He tells us he is drawing Monsters and we smile and say ok. This is the outcome!! He shocked the heck out of us!!
