Yesterday We Made Stuff

Yes.  We did make stuff yesterday.
Famke hasn't been to school all week due to a fever that appears eerily every twelve hours at 4:00.
She has seen the doctor, and he pronounced that she has croup and allergies.
When she doesn't have the fever, she feels fine, but when it hits, down she goes.

So while she was feeling well she made an advent chain,  star necklaces and banners with Kado, and had a tea party with Feintsje.

I also got out her little doll house suitcase and she decorated it for Christmas with bottle brush trees and little candles.

This year we have probably read more Christmas books than all other years combined.  I'm not sure why that is, but I LOVE it!

I also believe that I have seen "How the Grinch Stole Christmas" more times than I have in my lifetime just in the past two weeks.  Kado enjoys it very much.  Seriously, I think he has a crush on Cindy-Loo-Who as it makes him very mad when the Grinch steals her candy cane while she sleeps.

Is everyone else extremely tired at this time of year?  I feel as if I am wading through mud, even waking up tired.  Ugh.  But you know me, not one to complain!
