Day 6: Snowflakes(You'd think the weekend would make for more complicated/involved projects, but somehow no. In fact we busted these out quickly, and went for a drive to get peppermint hot chocolate and look at Christmas lights)
Sunday was the one day we nearly forgot to do one. It was just about bedtime when I realized, so Jess decided what we would do is he'd have them draw an object out of a hat and draw whatever object/creature they got, wearing a Santa hat. Then the rest of us guessed what it was.
Paige wasn't overly excited when she got a garbage can. She drew it well, though, if you ask me.
Her second turn, she got a rhino. Totally forgot his santa hat though.
Cason got a monkey.
...and a banana.
Neely got a pig and a duck.
Cason kept begging for more, and finished up with a rat. I love his rat drawing.
On Monday, or day 8, we did a popsicle stick nativity ornament.
Day 9-a Santa. Paige preferred him with a short beard and no 'stache, giving hers kind of an Abraham feel.
Today we hot glued yarn onto shower curtain rings to make little teeny wreaths. Neely had a ton of patience for this. I was working on a regular sized wreath at the same time, and she sat with me for hours, working quietly away.
I meant to add something to them, like make holly from felt, but they liked them as they were (or at least said so to get out of extra work-haha!)
