Disney a X-Mas Carol
By Aracely Carrillo on Friday, November 11, 2011
To beat the winter chills my boys and I stay connected with our family and friends by visiting one family per week. Usually the adults chat over hot cocoa or coffee, while the kiddies are playing with each other and running around until they are pooped. We also try to visit fun places like the musuems and libraries......there's always something new you could learn. And lastly, when it's to cold to go out, my boys and I enjoy baking and cooking together. We'll also make edible playdoh,using different cookie cutters to make the shapes and then eat them. Usually we'll do some crafts, play board games and play the wii or xbox.
