I've been wanting to do this forever... It was supposed to be "Christmas in July..." but, oh well. July was busy. I finally cleared the calendar and just did it. Yea!
I told the girls that they were going to have a special day but it was going to be a surprise. I think the anticipation is almost as much fun as the event.
When they awoke, I was wearing Christmas jingle bell earrings, a hastily painted tree t-shirt and Christmas music was playing.
They totally bought in, bless them, and even put on their Christmas duds.
Christmas tree buttermilk pancakes...
Crafting cards, tags... It was so fun just creating without the pressure of a package to finish...
Later in the day we watched Christmas movies and went to our local Christmas shop, Sleigh Bells. Let me tell all you local friends, off season is the time to shop Sleigh Bells...
We didn't do half of what I had planned, but there's always September.
What a great idea! You are so fun!!!
