*** It's Santa & Our Craft Time!!!!! *** :]

The boys got to hear Santa talk to them today and they wrote him a letter as well and got a letter back!!! It was so so fun to see their lil faces -- Eli was in such amazement and loved it and Zacary started walking backwards when Santa said his name hahaha!!!! Sooo adorable and really something neat to do for your kids!!! The light in the video of Santa talking to them turns green if they are on the nice list and when Zacary's video was showing Eli said "Zacary's light will be green too cuz he's a good boy too" awwww :]:] Eli now likes Santa a bit better -- and I am hoping that lasts the rest of the week hehe b/c Thurs we are going to hear Santa read a story at Barnes and Noble and Fri we are going to go and try to sit on his lap again :] We also are taking a free carriage ride -- so much fun!!! :]

We also wrote Santa letters today and Santa wrote them back to us!!! I had to print the letters and as they printed Eli thought it was Santa sending the letter through our printer awww :]:] He told Santa he wants a t-ball bat, books, and a glove in his letter and Zacary wants a Thomas train rug, an Elmo book, and animal books :] Waaaay toooo precious! It was so much fun to do this with my babies and to see how much they loved it!!! I am going to keep doing this every year! We did it last year too but Eli didn't understand as much as this year and it will be cute to see Zacary understand more and more as he grows too awww :]:] I am so in love with this time of year -- and my sweet baby boys and hubby :]:]

I have the videos posted -- first is Zacary's and then is Eli's :]:] Eli has already asked to see them again and again so I have them saved in a good spot to come show him again when he asks :]:]

We have made some very nifty Christmas crafts as well which I am very proud of hehe :] I have found most of these crafts at Pinterest.com -- which is one website I am way obsessed with hehehe :]

We have made a reindeer out of their lil feet, we made a Santa face out of their lil hands, we made a Christmas Tree and Santa hat and then used their lil fingers as snowmen, we made snowman donuts with candy corn as the carrot nose, we made door handles in Christmas decorations as well and comin up we are going to make another reindeer craft, wreath craft, yummy reindeer cookies, and another Santa craft and some Christmas brownies too :]:] We made a special ornament with the boys' faces on it for our tree and also made one for my rents of the same and my Grams -- and also made one with my boys' faces and Jasmine and Jayde's sweet lil faces too and Carter's name added to it to (my sister-in-law Lydia is due with her first baby in Feb and it's a boy she is naming Carter aww) :] I hope they like them and think they turned out super cute -- however I can't show them until after Christmas since it is a gift hahaha!!! :] The boys and I love love to do crafts!!! It's so much fun and I just love it when Eli asks to do one too for him and Zacary!! Zacary is loving to color and tries to glue now too just like big brother -- so so cute!!! :] LOVE my sweet baby boys!!!
