so far the activities that I have loved the most (off this list) have been the Toys for Tots donation night ( I was surprised by how thoughtful the boys were in being very particular with their gift... it was so sweet!) and the popsicle stick snowflakes (glue everywhere! ).... but we have a few more ahead of us, and I am sure that tonight I will hear the words "what are we doing tonight?" and I will smile and say " Something fun together, of course!"
