Julestue, Christmas Decorations and Lots of Other Fun Things

Waiting for Morfar.
Laney and Ty hanging out the window seeing if they can spot Morfar. Ty was yelling out the window, calling for Morfar.
Morfar came before he traveled around in Norway and Sweden and man did he get a show while he was there. Laney showed him all her "tricks" and Ty was hyper the whole time.
One day he peeled and ate 4 oranges in one sitting.
Ty loves mandarin oranges and he's very good at peeling them too if you start it for him.
Tularoo
Laney made one with a purple candle because she loves purple. I had sprayed some fake snow one the branches and then Laney said, "Let's pretend that the fruit are little animals in the forest and they have snow on them too." I asked her if that meant that she wanted snow on the fruit too and she said yes.
I made a little decoration for the calendar candle. There are the numbers from 1 to 24 on the candle and then you burn a number every day from the 1st till Christmas.
Laney and I make christmas decorations.
The Monday after we come home from Sonderborg we woke up to a little bit of snow. Laney was so excited because as she says, "It snows when it's Christmas."
There's an empty cupboard in the kitchen where Ty likes to hang out with his dinosaurs. Normally Laney and Ty fight over who gets to crawl into the cupboard....
On December 1st, we went to my old school to "Julestue". Where all the classes do something to earn some money, like a restaurant or wheel of fortune kind of thing. There are always lots of old students there. It was fun to go back and see my old school and all the changes.
There was a little fishing pond where you could fish and then the fish had a number on them. Then depending on how many points you had from the fish you got to choose a little toy. The kids had a lot of fun.
