Day 6 

Christmas Eve!

 Becky opened another envelope today. The perfect one for Christmas Eve! 

 A bag of sugar cookie mix and some sprinkles!

Becky made sugar cookies. 

 While we were waiting for the first batch to cook we went outside because it was snowing and it doesn't snow that often in Virginia!

 

 

 

Then back inside to get the cookies out!

 I made a Christmas cake! My hand writing isn't very good though with frosting. 

 Merry Christmas! 

Day 5

 We colored in some Christmas coloring books and watched 

The Grinch Who Stole Christmas

This picture reminded me of my black lab puppy Jones who is back in Michigan right now. I miss him. 

 
 Mine and Becky's pictures! 

Christmas Suncatchers

Day 4

Today we were out Christmas shopping for most of the day, so I thought we could do this once we got back! We listened to Christmas music too. 

Christmas Sun catchers! 

Okay, Christmas Sun-catchers from the Dollar Store are really cheap...they came with yellow, green, blue, and brown paint that was impossible to open, so we had to stab holes in the tops with with scissors. After being sprayed with blue paint, Becky decided to give me a surgeon's mask with some paper towels.

For being from the Dollar Store, they actually turned out pretty good, for the most part! 

Mazie is SO old and SO fat and SO lazy, that she eats laying down :) 

My Grandma made all of us matching stockings. 

Winter Hike With the Dogs

Day 3 

Today it started snowing a little here, which doesn't happen very often. The snow hasn't been sticking on the ground much, but I still thought it would be the perfect day for Becky to open this envelope!

In this envelope I put some hot chocolate mix and some gloves I found at the dollar store. 

 Me and Becky all bundled up to go hiking! 

Snowball is on the right and Ruby is on the left. I know it seems like it should be the other way around, but Snowball was white when he was  puppy!

 Then we came inside and warmed up with some hot chocolate! 

Playing The Piano

Day Two 

Today Becky opened the second envelope of her Christmas gift: the ten days of Christmas.  

I made Becky a music book with some of These piano tutorials. I copied a few of the tutorials down. Then I cut a red folder in half and decorated it with music stickers. I left some blank pages in the back for her to write down any music that she likes. 

Then I helped her learn to play the songs! "Go slow to go fast" :)
