I picked up a bunch of fun crafts to do with Dylan this week. Yesterday, time got away from me, and we didn't get to do one. So, today we did TWO! First, Dylan and I painted some fun wooden Christmas decorations. He did a tree and I did a little sign that says "Believe." (Pictures are at the very bottom). We had fun, but it was a MESS. Mostly because London Paisley wanted SO badly to be part of the fun and was into EVERYTHING. I wanted so badly for her to be able to do crafts with us too, so we tried, but it was not very successful. I think now that she is "into" craft time, we'll have to do it during her nap time... until she is just a bit older. Anyways, they turned out pretty cute regardless.
When Daniel got home from work tonight (and Dylan was waiting anxiously ALL day), we did our first family gingerbread house. We waited until we put London into bed, and that helped out a lot. She would have been miserable not being able to eat all the candy and icing! haha! It has been ages since I made one of these, and I don't think Daniel had ever... so it was kind of like the blind leading the blind. And even though it was a premade kit, it was a lot harder than I thought it would be! hahah! We had a lot of fun and our house... it had a lot of... character. Dylan was proud as could be of it, and thats what made it worth it. He even put one of his super hero men in the middle of the house to "live in" until Christmas day (when I promised he could take it apart). I am loving Christmas with a five year old. He is so excited about everything. And miss London Paisley is just the icing on our beautiful cake!
