Getting ready for Christmas
Evan wanted to make paper snow flakes this year, so we all joined in and tried to figure out how to fold the paper so that it would work. I started out making half snowflakes and three-quarter snowflakes, but we did finally figure it out. I had to abandon the paper crafts book and go and google it. Our window looks so pretty from the road with all the white snowflakes showing through.
Before going to bed on Christmas Eve, Evan set quite a spread up for Santa with a table, chair and a nice cloth. There was warm cider, pumpkin cookies, carrots for the reindeer and a peeler for the carrots. 
So sweet.
So sweet.

The clients and I made snowflakes this year also out of coffee filters. We also made a Santa face and a snowman out of paper plates. I had to design something they could work on very easily, so of course I ended up cutting all the snowflakes myself because they won’t use scissors.
A peeler for the carrots! How sweet! Did Santa peel the carrots for the reindeer and leave the peels for you to mulch?
What a fun looking Christmas! Mel is always sad that we never have snow for Christmas. Maybe we will take your idea and put snowflakes all over our windows next year.
