We invented a game called "bobulated", based on the version of Rummy that I grew up with. It can be lots of fun. Scrabble is a great game, too. :)<br /><br />I hope that you have a fun Christmas with your little ones. My baby girl is 16 years old. They grow up way too fast.<br /><br />I'm here from Patrice's Farmhouse Chat. Have a great day!Suzanne McClendonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15563562309945754772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474338539169637260.post-75038051777330124272011-12-07T09:16:19.870-07:002011-12-07T09:16:19.870-07:00I think you (and many other parents- like I) can&#...I think you (and many other parents- like I) can't see Christmas through a child's eyes because we are so busy caring for little ones. I can do it more with my youngest(9) now that the other three are not only independent, but helpful.<br /><br />I'm glad you've chosen game time with hubby over blogging. We like to play Scrabble or Canasta. All four girls like to play too, so hubby has to play whoever has the next turn.<br /><br />You're doing all the right things with your little ones by letting them know what Christmas is really about.Good job!!!Patricehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09073900183291544491noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474338539169637260.post-42538116932792537232011-12-07T08:11:38.139-07:002011-12-07T08:11:38.139-07:00We don't have any little ones around anymore s...We don't have any little ones around anymore so I really miss seeing how children react to Christmas. All the excitement of the holidays - no stress.<br />I agree that old fashioned cocoa is best but I admit to cheating with the instant now.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04738934059756079283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474338539169637260.post-20170906100489511572011-12-07T08:03:57.630-07:002011-12-07T08:03:57.630-07:00Christmas time with small ones is very special.

Enjoy them while you have them, as they do get away from you in a blink of an eye. <br /><br />Good old fashion cocoa on the stove top is absolutely the best way to go. I've gotten pretty lazy over the years and am quick to use instant with hot milk.

I think when you have small babies that is the only way to see Christmas. <br />I think it makes it always have lots more meaning.Farm Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00998621464797636686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3474338539169637260.post-67131569495352248102011-12-07T05:38:50.455-07:002011-12-07T05:38:50.455-07:00Oh, you VERY much are seeing Christmas through the...Oh, you VERY much are seeing Christmas through the eyes of a child because you are a mama. You are doing eternal work, investing in the souls of sweetie pies. I wish you joy today! Thank you so much for joining me in this simple group effort.
