Children are very happy about having the tree up. Little C. keeps exclaiming "The tree came to visit!" and she touches ornaments all the time.
Yesterday we made our first ornaments of the season. We took out thick felt sheets and sewn up couple of birds. It was D.'s first big sewing experience as well as needle felting. He loved every minute of it. His bird was an owl and now it guards our tree. He did most of the work himself :)
I made a little dove, C. helped by messing with my thread and picking our sequins :)
Yesterday we read
Toot &Puddle I'll be home for Christmas by Holly Hobbie- another delightful little story about piglets
Today was another quiet day.
We read The Wild Christmas Reindeer by Jan Brett.
I'm back to baking, made marble cookies using this recipe.
The cookies are quite good, but too much work somehow mixing, and separating, and chilling the dough.
We watched Serendipity tonight, very nice:
Oh - I love your ornaments! And Toot & Puddle. Haven't read that one, but love Let it Snow. Thanks for sharing. =)
