This is a long one!!! LOL!

Wednesday we went to Disneyland it was so busy we left early. but before leaving we got to see parade and the boys got to meet the coolest Santa ever. I got some really cute pics of all for kids in front of the trees and neat decor. I love Disney at the holidays. I was walking down main street and they make it snow every night and I could hear the caroling and I started to cry it was beautiful. I love Christmas. Thanks giving was nice here we fed the homeless after but his year we could not find anybody it was really cold outside so i think most were in shelters. but we still gave away alot of our food just not all of it. :(. Then there was BLACK FRIDAY!!!

We got to Toys R us at 2:30 am and they opened at 5 but I spent 180 and saved 130 what a deal i got so much of my shopping accomplished. mostly for the nieces and nephews and some for my kids.





Friday and Saturday we Decorated our Santa clause tree as the boys call it and that was fun but up some of my other deco have a few more things to put up. but i think it looks nice I just hate blinking lights on a tree and Honey prefers blinking so I said OK I guess so the pic looks funny below.


Hey i think i ma going to have a Christmas caroling party for the girls and we carol around our neighborhood. not sure yet but i think that would be fun. What do you think?
Are you guys getting ready yet are your pics up I can not wait to hop around later this afternoon. have a great day and talk to you all soon.

Below is a recipe to make reindeer food !!! I will be doing this for all the daycare kids and my own this year. hope you can find fun in it too.

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

Children instinctively love animals and want to make sure they are treated well, and reindeer are no exception! The following "recipe" will ensure that, along with cookies for Santa, your family will also have a little something tasty to leave for his hard-working reindeer.
Ingredients:
1/2 cup regular oats (such as Quaker Oats).
1 Tbsp. clear decorative sugar crystals, 1 Tbsp. red or green decorative sugar crystals, or 1 tsp. glitter.
Instructions:
Mix oats and sugar (or glitter) together in a small zip-top bag.
Print the poem below on a gift tag or slip of paper and staple it to the top of the bag. A decorative ribbon curl or two, taped to the bag, also makes a nice presentation.
On Christmas Eve, let your kids sprinkle their Magic Reindeer food on the lawn to help entice Santa's reindeer. They can then go to sleep, confident in the knowledge that Santa's sleigh will most certainly find its way to their house and that Santa's reindeer will receive a nice reward for their efforts.
Reindeer food poem:
“Sprinkle this in your yard on Christmas Eve night. The light of the moon will make it sparkle bright. As Santa’s reindeer fly and roam, this will guide them to your home!”
Magic reindeer food takes very little effort to prepare, yet it never fails to delight the younger set. Parents and grandparents will surely find themselves on Santa's "Nice" list if they make some this Christmas!

I love Disneyland at Christmas time, Christmas is my most favorite day of the year, we did our lights outside and i decorated the house, but we are waiting for this weekend to get our tree.
Im with you on the blinking light thing....
i was just telling someone that i have never gotten anyone at our door caroling and i remember when i was a kid they used to go around all the time. what a great tradition you could make having a caroling party every year and maybe one year soon me and savannah can join you guys.
glad you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Your tree is beautiful!

Our last trip to Disney was during Christmas time. I loved it! I guess I has never been there during the holiday time before!

Great job at Toys R Us. We attempted to go but we go there at 4:30 and the line was outrages. Not to mention how freezing cold it was! We didnt get what we intended too - but we ended up getting hubby an early christmas gift. Which he could wait til we got home to open!

Looks like lots of fun going on!
I bet the girls would love a carolling party.
We do the reindeer food every year and the kids always love it.
