Holiday Crafting...take 2.

I mentioned a Thanksgiving holiday craft here.  Well recently we sat down to do a little winter/Christmas crafting...it was pretty hilarious!

This is what four year olds do when you sit them down and craft with them:

This is what two year olds do:

As a side note, he also ended with marshmallow everywhere.  His chair, his tush, his face, his hands.  We went for the bathtub right after this and he managed to slide his marshmallow butt in between the tub and toilet...the side of my toilet was coated with sticky marshmallow goo.

Ahhhh such is my life! I should know by now that crafting with kids is no neat affair.  Especially where Cooper is concerned.

Despite a little bit of a mess...the finished product was adorable and Owen asked us to put them up on the mantle to add to our decorations.  I couldn't think of a more perfect place to display them :)  I love his little holiday spirit.  It's clear he already has the same enthusiasm I do for the holidays!!  And Cooper begs to go see the Christmas trees at Target every time we are there!  Another holiday-love taking shape before my eyes!

Just one of the million reasons I love this time of year...and having kids to enjoy it with makes it all the more sweet!
