-The girls helped me hang laundry.
-They drew pictures. Astrid has been really into looking at people and trying to draw them exactly as she sees them. She's been adding every little detail, right down to the wrinkles under eyes.
-Muirgen danced while I played piano.
-Astrid played with the nativity set.
-They looked at photo albums.
-We read the part of the Christmas story where the angels visit the shepherds.
-Sang 'The First Noel' and 'While Shepherds Watched their Flocks by Night'.
-Astrid made a sheep craft.
-We talked about the names for male and female sheep, as well as a group of sheep, what sound sheep make, etc.
-Said all the nursery rhymes we could think of that had to do with sheep.
-The girls played ballet school.
-They experimented with what their voices sounded like when they "put them inside bottles" of different shapes and sizes.
-They pretended that Jason was a talking air castle and jumped all over him.
