Old School Christmas: Part 2

Now that our ornaments are good and dry. . .we baked them for 6 hours and then let them sit overnight. . . 
It is time to paint!!!


Guess what color AW picked first. . . Orange. . .surprise, surprise!



She had been asking me every 10 minutes all morning when she could start painting. Mean mother that I am, I made her get all of her schoolwork done first. Great incentive, right?

Almost done!

I love seeing my kids create.


Masterpieces!!!

During her school breaks this morning she made paper snowflakes. . . a good start!


Then they set up the Little People nativity under the tree. . .
To quote a friend. . .I "super puffy heart" Little People!!!


So while the paint dried we made a trip the the library then had dinner
 (pancakes, eggs and bacon. . .el-yummo)

Now it was FINALLY time to hang the decorations!


Morgan's self-portrait.


One of our favorites!


Little Buddy was very focused !


And there is our tree so far!


Up next. . .
