Trying to squeeze it in between Frances being asleep (or at least fed and happy) and keeping these two occupied is quite tricky! To help with the older two, I pulled out an old roll of wrapping paper and their art kits, and they went to town coloring, painting and cutting the paper. It bought me a few precious minutes of wrapping time!
This clever Mommy had some great ideas for occupying kids during the holidays! I especially love her use of old Christmas cards. Goodness knows I've saved enough of them:)On a somewhat different note, I was wondering how many of you wrap your children's Christmas gifts? Growing up, our gifts "from Santa" were never wrapped. They were all displayed in the living room, so when walked in the room they were all there for us to see. Matt suggested doing a little of both (wrapping some, not wrapping others) which is what we'll do this year, but I'm curious as to how my lovely readers (all five of you;) either do it for your children or how your parents did it for you!

Growing up we did a little of both, and with Joshua we do a little of both. Its fun to see that surprised look at what's displayed, but Josh also loves to unwrap something. A new thing that we are also adding in this year is a treasure hunt with clues all over the house. It was heavily 'suggested' by Josh.;)
I'm sure, whatever you do, it will be very special! Merry Christmas!
