A couple of things we've been doing out of, Things to Make and Do for Christmas by Ellen Weiss

Pinwheel Wreaths


These cut out paper guys in the book were "Dancing Santa Ornaments" but Sylvia made a Gingerbread man...

...and a cat.

Luke made a "Dancing Ninja Ornament."

These pictures of Hazel "playing" video games with Luke make me so sad. Does she really think she is playing?!

I mean, the cord is still wrapped around the controller for goodness sakes!

Sylvia made a teddy bear shaped sugar cookie with a ton of sprinkles on it for Santa. She told him that she wants a real life teddy bear from him.

Watering our future plants.

Hazel watered the rocks.



Luke found a large grasshopper and carried it around on a stick as a pet for a while.

We go through a lot of paper in our house. I'll often find all four of our kids at the table drawing pictures. I encourage this because my favorite thing to do as a child was to draw whatever I wanted. I love how each of my children are developing their own style. Today I wanted to show Isabel's cute style. I love the pink cheeks and how she includes names and ages. Oh and she draws the most beautiful dresses.
