Decorating Kid Style
We have done a lot of Christmas decorating but each day the boys like to add a little more. Colin did a very nice Christmas tree at school complete with sequins. Then Holden made a bunch of drawings. He likes to “wrap” his which means rolling the paper up. Then he put his “wrapped” decorations up next to Colin’s on our front door:
This afternoon I attempted to build a Gingerbread house with the boys. It was from a kit but wasn’t as easy as I thought it was going to be. The boys restrained themselves from eating candy for awhile but suddenly the house started to colapse and as I was strugging to hold the roof on they took advantage of the situation. The next thing I know, they are picking the pieces off the roof as it’s sliding and licking and eating everything. Turned into a madhouse and a pretty ugly gingerbread house – well, really it wasn’t very attractive from the get go, but that’s what I expected 
Holden and I also made some cookies this afternoon:
P.S. I swear Holden wears something other than that orange stripped shirt…just glanced through the last few posts and he is wearing it in every picture.
