Mohawks

I'm grateful for Mohawks. It always makes me want to go get a haircut myself so I can have one, too.  I have to admit, it IS a wicked cool look, especially on a baby in a bathtub.

Lookin' Good In New Shoes

I'm grateful for new shoes.  I say that as a positive affirmation so the universe KNOWS I'm ready to go shoe shopping and want to find something that can compare to the cool style of Dorothy's ruby red slippers on the Wizard of Oz.

PS) This cutie makes me laugh as she strutts around the house wearing her big sister's shoes. Life is happy, no? (especially when wearing new shoes)  :)

Play Restuarant

I'm grateful whenever we play restaurant at our house with menus and all because it's such a fun way to teach the kids more money concepts just like we do at Mommy Store.

 They even decorated their own menus and counted out how much money to give me (the waitress) for each item of food. 

 The best part of playing restaurant? A fancier dessert than usual...yum!

Paper Purse

 

I'm grateful for the paper purse my daughter made from scratch as a Christmas gift to her cousin.  I was so impressed with her innovative nature and work ethic as she kept adding homemade contents to the purse (cell phone, lipstick, mascara, blush, etc...)  This girl cracks me up!

Glitter

 

I'm grateful for glitter. It just makes things pretty. Apparently the baby agrees with me. She gets into it ALL THE TIME when the older kids are making craft projects like the one in yesterday's post.

Craft Projects

I'm grateful for craft projects whether it's in a big group setting or just a part of homeschooling each day, my kids love to create!

Christmas Street and Bible Street

I'm grateful to live near Christmas Street and Bible Street here in Salt Lake. And since it's exactly a week after Christmas, I thought it would be perfect time to finally share these festive pictures.

Every home on Christmas street lights up for neighbors to enjoy as they drive by. There's even a banner that says, "Christmas Street" that welcomes you into the circle of lights. It's really lovely.

And Bible Street in just one block away, with a large photo and scripture on the lawn of each home progressively telling the story of the birth of Christ. It's a sweet tradition for our family to drive by the homes on each street and enjoy the spirit of the season. I think we'll still return each year even when we move away. :)
