Not Me! Monday

Welcome to Not Me! Monday! This blog carnival was created by MckMama. You can head over to her blog to read what she and everyone else have not been doing this week.
********************************
I did NOT wait until the week before Christmas to start working on my Christmas cards. I am NOT a huge procrastinator especially around the holidays. I have NOT been procrastinating a ton of other holiday stuff like shopping, wrapping, and decorating!
I did NOT make my children run around outside without shoes on this week. I would NEVER makes their little tootsies freeze just because I thought bare feet would be SUPER cute for their Christmas picture! I did NOT finally let them wear flip flops because they were quietly complaining whining about their feet being cold {and the ground was pretty wet}!

It's My Party...

and I'll cry SMILE if I want to!

Earlier in the week, the boys decorated some SUPER cute red lunch sacks to give their friends at school a few goodies. I {well technically my sister and Jason} cut out some little Christmas trees with a fun shaped hole punch and some multi colored green scrapbook paper. Then the boys glued the little Christmas trees to the bags. Grant made 8 bags for his class, and Henry made 24 bags for his class {and he even wrote 'From: Henry' on all the bags}!

Last night, Jason and I stayed up way too late making the goodies {Christmas tree shaped Rice Krispy treats}, loading the bags, and tying them up with some twine! I think they turned out really cute!
