Day 109 ~ Reindeer Feet


DIY 
 ~  Reindeer Feet  ~


Another great pin on pinterest. When I stumbled across these I knew for sure I was going to do this easy craft with Avery. Of course, anything to do with paint and she is game. I guess I didn't have to beg for her to help with this one. Our yarn Christmas tree  was the perfect place to hang out new art work! Hope you have just as much fun making these Reindeer faces with your feet as we did. 



Supplies : Paint of your choice, I went with brown for the body, red for the nose, white and blue for the eyes.  Brown marker for the antlers, white or colored paper. And of course, 2 feet :) You could even use a cute red pom for the nose and the googly eyes!

Paint those feet! Be careful, the owner of the foot might tell you it tickles mommy and start to kick :) Paint gets every where.

I set the paper on the floor, it was just easier for Avery to stand. Place the foot any place you want the print.

Repeat the previous steps to the other foot.

Add the red paint to the thumb.

I showed Avery on one foot print where to add the nose, so she repeated it on the other foot print!

Add the white paint to any finger tip.

I did the same with this one, showed her where to add the white part of the eyes and she repeated on the other foot print. Pretty good if you ask me :)

Of course these reindeer had to have blue eyes, blue is our favorite color! Make sure to add your antlers and you are done :)
We added it to our yarn Christmas tree. We had frosty out of cotton balls, but she thought the cotton balls needed to come off and now frosty is no longer frosty. We need to get busy before Christmas with some new art work!

One proud mom :) ~ Leiah

Day 107 ~ Kids Christmas


~ Kids Christmas ~

Christmas for kids should always be special. There are so many things you can do with your kids to make it special, now that we have pinterest, so many ideas are floating around. The best are your Christmas traditions you want to pass down to your kids, those are the special moments they are not going to forget. Or doing the same thing with your kids every year, like making a gingerbread house, stepping outside for the first snow fall of the season, or baking that special treat. 
Here are a few things that we like to do and wanted to share with you.

Anakin & Xander enjoying the first snow fall this year!
 

Xander & Anakin's gingerbread house this year! Looks like they couldn't wait for the icing to dry either :))

Avery's gingerbread house this year, it was her first and she didn't feel like waiting for the icing to dry :)

Xander & Anakin's gingerbread cookies! Look so yummy!




Making sugar cookies & frosting them with the grandparents.

Yum~~

A few new traditions Avery and I started this year. Puppy chow was one of them.

And of course marshmallow treats.


Great way to decorate your kids room for the holiday!

Avery and I did these last year for gifts for the family, they were so much fun and really easy!

There is nothing better than crafts with kids, these are a lot of fun to do all year round. You can even take a pictures of them and then upload them to make a photo album instead of collecting all the art work.


Laura and I can't wait to start this Elf tradition with our kids next year. The Elf on a shelf is such a hit.


And what is better then at the end of the night curling up in your tent and reading a few books?!


Christmas means laughing and spending time with your family and friends but most important of all, it is celebrating the birth of Christ.
