Christmas Corner Day 23
As this ends the Christmas Corner blogging, we wish you all a very Merry Christmas!! Today we made our treat for Santa and Allie wrote him a letter. It's amazing how we went from a blank wall to an art gallery. When I told Allie this was our last project she said but mom can't we have Christmas Corner everyday. I guess that's what makes Christmas magical is that it is only once a year.
Christmas Corner Day 22
Just one more day til Christmas Corner is done. We've had a lot of fun and I am grateful that I played with my girls every morning. I think I did it more for me then them. It was really important for me this year to not be "CRAZY BUSY". I'm not sure I wasn't less "CRAZY BUSY" but I really enjoyed the time with my girls and look forward to preparing for next year.
Today we had Aiden and Chloe again we make stockings!!
Christmas Corner Day 20
Today Allie was sick so we did Christmas Corner while Aubrie and Daddy went to Papa and Maama's for a Christmas Party. We were sad we missed it.
Christmas Corner Day 19
Today we made snowman out of paperplates. It was really easy and a lot of fun
Christmas Corner Day 18
This morning instead of making a project which I would have rather the girls convinced me of going out and playing in the snow. It turned out to be a lot of fun. We don't have sleds so we came up with our version. (The Law of Substitution and Creativity.) We used our shovel and pushed the girls on it. It was fun!!!
Christmas Corner Day 17
8 more days til Christmas. The girls love to paint. I should remember that more often but it is always so messy. I think the girls would paint every day for hours. Hopefully, someday the girls can work for their Aunt Lisa and paint forever!!!
Christmas Corner Day 16
Today for Christmas Corner we made handprint Christmas Trees. Fun project!!! We are so excited that there is only nine more days til Christmas.
Christmas Corner Day 15
Can you believe only 10 more days!!!!
For Christmas Corner we had our friends Chloe and Aiden with us.
We made reindeer puppets.
Christmas Corner Day 13
Today my family came and made Christmas Candy. This is the second year we have made candy. I first learned how to make candy from my father-in-law. I still remember making fudge for the first time (at least that I can remember) when I was 21 and married. When Justin and I were first married it was a holiday tradition I loved with the Tranchell's. Last year, we decided at Thanksgiving that we were going to make Christmas Candy with my mom the first week in December. Mom went into the hospital just a few days before we were suppose to make candy. My family decided that we wanted to do make candy again and that it was fun tradition to start. Aunt Karalee and Uncle Brett bought the kids gingerbread houses to make. Aunt Karalee also took lots of pictures with her great camera. I mananage to only get two and that was after everyone left and I realized I wanted to put this on Christmas Corner. So this whole long story was to tell you that todays project for Christmas Corner was making candy.
Christmas Corner Day 12
Today we made Christmas Trees out of pipe cleaners. Aubrie has the been throwing up so she just watched us. Allie had fun putting the beads on.
Christmas Corner Day 11
This had to be my favorite project day. Not sure if it was just because it was so easy or if it was really fun to make snowglobes.
Christmas Corner Day 10
This project was a lot harder for the girls then I thought. It involved more gluing then anything. Oh, well I guess that is how you learned! We made snowman from egg cartons. Kind of fun!
Last night, for Family Home Evening, we with Papa, Maama, Tiff, Maph,Livy,& Sophie to see the lights in Spanish Fork. We ate pizza at Papa & Maama's house first and then went to the lights. We had fun singing Christmas songs with Maama on the way over. Once we got there we piled in one van and went through the park. It was a fun trip except for my whining children.
Christmas Corner Day 9
We made snowflakes with white pasta. On the instructions it says to remember that each snowflake is different and to remind children of that. I was glad to read that as a reminder before we did it. Aubrie's is the first snowflake and Allie's is the second.
Christmas Corner 8th Day
Today we made reindeer candyholders. It was a fun project that required a lot of glue, stapling and a little cussing. Actually more just "Why won't this stick". The girls sang a lot and had fun with their finger plays.
Christmas Corner 6th Day
Tonight for Christmas Corner we made and decorated Christmas Trees. Daddy got to help us tonight. I think they had more fun licking their fingers then actually decorating their tree.
Christmas Corner - December 5th
Today's project was almost a catastrophe, I couldn't get the glue to stick but it finally worked and as you know my kids weren't to happy with waiting for it to dry before decorating. While Aubrie was waiting for her star to dry she made a project with popsicle sticks. I'm not sure what to call it but I was proud of her artistic ability. In the end it turned out to be a lot of fun and the girls enjoyed gluing jems on their star. We also tried learning Stars were Gleaming. Allie did great while Aubrie just sat there. When we got done Aubrie suggested we sing I am like a star shining brightly. I wanted to tell her that I wished that she would shine brightly and sing a song I was trying to teach her but instead smiled and said of course Aubrie lets sing I am a like a star shining brightly. I am grateful to be a mom so I can laugh and cry in the same moment.
