Boxes and Taking Down Christmas

Of course, the dreaded day of taking down the beautiful Christmas decorations was upon us. To add to the chaos, we are officially MOVING so Brad ran and got some free boxes we found on craigslist, so we had boxes for putting away decorations and lots of empty boxes all over the house...Elizabeth's FAVORITE scenario. ;)

Amazingly enough the kids were actually better for me packing then they had been unpacking! Hooray! I did much of it during nap, but there was still a lot left and Lorelei even helped take down some of the tree. She is still asking nearly every day for Santa to come and sometimes mentions wanting to put something under the three. Christmas was just not long enough!

Along with all of this, to help keep them entertained they got to build a fort with all of our boxes! Lorelei is quite the little builder/stacker so it was a lot of fun for her and Brad. Of course our sweet, mellow boy sat wonderfully in his bouncy seat for all the chaos. They finished off the night having some popcorn in the fort watching a parade and some football. The next day they build a fort again and Lorelei requested football and popcorn. :)
