This evening, the Bug and the Pea created a blizzard of paper snowflakes. Clad in jammies, they snuggled under the Christmas tree with a stack of typing paper and some scissors. They folded the paper into quarters and cut rectangles and triangles and circles through the layers. Unfolding the paper revealed unique snowflakes, like the ones I created when I was their age.
I left one important Christmas tradition off my "Tradition List." Each year on the first Saturday in December, we head to the Kentucky Library and Museum's Annual Christmas in Kentucky Event. The children spent the morning immersed in the holiday spirit. Ornament making is their favorite! The Bug makes a bee-line for the table with the clothespin soldier craft. The Pea winds ribbon around a ball and decorates her ornament with paint. Wooden ornaments are crafted, pine cone/peanut butter/bird seed bird feeder ornaments emerge. Next it's time for a scavenger hunt through the museum, a magic show, a visit with Santa and some madrigal singers.
I love getting into the Christmas spirit...one paper snowflake at a time!
