My mom was in town visiting this weekend and she came over yesterday and helped us make some Christmas cards. We put out plates of red, green and blue paint and used flat wooden ornaments (a tree, a reindeer, a snowman) as stamps. That was fun, too, although I think we used too much paint and I had to leave them drying on the kitchen table all night. We also are making some out of gold ink and a dove stamp.
We've been attending to our Advent calendars and holiday reading and Magi moving each night, but last night was special. It was St. Nicholas Night (our name for the eve of St. Nicholas Day) and the girls each put out a shoe for St. Nicholas to fill before going to bed. The Lone Star Girl found Girl Scout earrings in her shoe this morning before she left for swimming and, when the Lone Star Baby woke up, she found a tiny Model Magic craft kit in hers.
What are your winter traditions?

Nice! We had a snow day today and set up a tree in the boys' room and made little winter villages.
Sounds lovely.
