After baking some cookies and before
putting up the tree -- we played some Star Wars Episode 1 Monopoly today. It's been sitting in a closet for years, but finally the kids are at an age where the most basic points of the game can be played and it's GREAT for money counting and math skills. Caleb won. He was literally just going around the board collecting money and poor Lorelei and I didn't stand a chance. We had a good time though and it was nice to play a complicated game with them and not have an argument break out that stopped the game before we were ready for it to be finished.
