Santa's Workshop

What always starts out as a very sweet, memory making activity often turns into frustration at our house. This one actually worked well. I can't believe how grown up my kids are getting. The older kids were able to do so much by themselves.

Cortland and Chandler don't get too excited about "crafting" gifts for their friends, they chose to give popcorn and candy canes. All they had to do was wrap them up. This was the right fit for the amount of time that they wanted to spend.

I love crafting with Alexis. She is very artistic. She chose to make domino necklaces for her friends. She had to cut the paper for both sides of the domino, glue and glaze and then assemble her necklaces. She did such a great job. I tried, fairly successfully, to back off and let her do it--my perfectionist tendencies cause us both stress sometimes--
