Christmas Morning!

Funniest part of the day. Moon discovering that Santa ate the cookie. She was so pissed! After this picture was taken a full on tantrum ensued until we offered her a new cookie. That Santa, eating the cookie without leaving any for her :(

Look at this house!

Music box from Great Gram. A definite hit!

A sock monkey too!

And a fancy cash register.


Later Owen, Adrienne and Brian came over from a turkey dinner.
We bought it from New Seasons and stuck it in the oven a couple of hours before eating. I highly recommend doing this!

Oh! And we had snow for a couple of hours too!
Our first white Christmas.

Christmas Eve!

Once I got myself motivated, Moon and I really got to business prepping for Santa.
Cut out cookies

Did some decorating

Set up cookies for Santa and a carrot for the reindeer

Guess how long the cookie lasted? Yeah, about a minute! Moon finally agreed to stop eating the cookie so that Santa could share some when he came. I wish that I had got a picture of it.

AFTER SANTA CAME, before Moon got up :)

The tree looks so much nicer with the flash off

The buffet is our fireplace. Moon knows that Santa comes in our front door.

P and I had so much fun playing with the dollhouse. We moved the furniture around a few times and agreed that if Moon doesn't like it, we can play with it.

Hopefully we will get a post up tomorrow too!

Painting.

So I decided that the only crafting I am going to be able to do is one that she can participate in. Painting it is.
The Mooner is so into painting lately that every morning we do some painting together.
Messy and fun.

So I decided that I would paint these little clothes pin people. Moon wanted to paint one. She told me it was all done after she painted the head red with some streaks down the side. Very gory...

Here they are! Fun natural toys, lead free and inexpensive!

An Artist!

I have been terrible about taking pics lately, aside from some top-secret Moon crafting photos, so I took the opportunity to photo some of Moon's new talent. Drawing faces! She just sat down and said "mouth" "eye" "eye". I was so shocked. I wonder if it was the new babysitter Katherine that taught her??? Anyhow, very cool.
