Graham cracker houses

 Hmm what to do with the rest of that holloween candy? Oh I know...

 Make a graham cracker house. All you need is graham crackers, frosting, and candy

 I built the base and Autumn decorated. She had so much fun doing this

 So proud of her work.

We have had this as our table center piece for about a week now.

Fun with shaving cream

 Today's activity is playing with shaving cream or "snow". You can get a can for less than a dollar and it will last quite a while.

 Just squirt some on a table (probably not your nice wood table) and let you child have fun. If you don't have a play table you could do it inside a cookie sheet. They can draw in it too. I added some plastic bugs for Autumn to play with.

Christmas tree craft

 Today we did a super easy craft. I cut a tree out of construction paper. Autumn decorated it with stickers and glued some cheerios on for ornaments and colored it. She loves to use glue and it is good fine motor skills putting on the cheerios.

Merry Christmas!

Madison-walking and talking

Madison has been walking really well over the past few weeks and she also started talking. It is so much fun to watch her grow. She says Tomka, Cracker, teeth, Dog, nana (banana), uh-oh. She is trying so hard to say other words too. She can also sign all done, more, please and eat. I love that she can communicate a little.

Christmas program

 Autumn had her Christmas program this morning. It was the 4 youngest classes at Christ the King. They all did so well. Autumn's class was wearing red. Here is Autumn walking in and below her sitting on stage

 She sang her little heart out.

 All smiles

 Today I sat Madi at the kid table for snack. She thought that was great. My baby is turning into a toddler. She is now officially walking. (15 months later)

So Blessed!

Flower girl

 Autumn was a flower girl in a wedding last Friday. She was so excited. The dress, the curls; she was in heaven.

 She did so good walking down the isle

 We had so much fun. Autumn was a dancing machine. She must get her moves from her daddy. She danced ALL night long

Reindeer Cookies

 We made these super cute reindeer cookies last week and thought we would share. They were super easy and Autumn had so much fun helping. All you need is a roll of pillbury peanut butter cookies. Take the roll and shape it like a triangle, then put in freezer for 20 minutes. Take out and cut into 1/2 inch triangle pieces. Add pretzels for ears and bake according to package. Once you take them from the oven put 2 hershey chocolate morsals for eyes and a red peanut butter M&M for the nose. Let cool and that's it.
