Alaina liked Santa this year!!!

We just got home from getting pictures taken with Santa. Instead of paying a fortune at the mall, we went to Wal-Mart where they take your picture with Santa, give you free pictures, and let you take pictures with your own camera. How awesome is that!!! Alaina really liked Santa. Leo not so much....Last year when Alaina had her picture taken with Santa, she looked royally ticked off. The year before that I was able to get her to look happy, but she was really unsure of the big bearded man.

Bandit is not too thrilled with the weather. We even shoveled part of our yard for him to be able to run in. He just sits down and stairs at the door and looks pathetic. He was only outside for a few seconds before we took this picture.



On Thursday we made snowflake Christmas tree ordaments out of coffee filters. Alaina cut out the snowflakes by herself. Then we colored on them with markers. After that we sprayed them with water so the marker would bleed. They turned out pretty well! Here is a picture of Alaina spraying her snowflake.Here are the finished products.
On Monday we are making Rudolph ordaments. I just picked up the stuff this morning.
