How many more days till Christmas???

Although we have two advent calendars (and another one added for next year now), the girls still keep asking "How many more days till Christmas?" We had a lot of fun leading up to it.

One day after school, we picked the girls up and headed to the Jelly Belly Factory. They got to watch how the candies are made and packaged. Very intriguing for them. Great age to take them! Plus they got to taste some weird flavors like Baby Wipes, Dog Food, Toothpaste (and others like Skunk Spray and Vomit that they didn't taste - thank goodness!!)

While Caitlin was down for one of her naps, we made Gingerbread house and a train.

The last Sunday before Christmas, we headed up to Nevada City for their Victorian Christmas and a snowman was walking around. Too cool!!

If you notice, this tree is different then the one in the other pictures - it is because we got a great deal off of Craigslist - this huge artificial tree (that took almost 2 hours to put together) for $40 - we couldn't pass it up. Plus we got our two trees back again. We had them before Caitlin was born and didn't do it last year cause she just was all over the place. She still is but could control her a little better. :-)
