PAINTING CHRISTMAS ORNAMENTS AND A GINGERBREAD TRAIN

On Wednesday we all went to our local paint pottery place to paint some ornaments together.  I did this with Elle last year but thought it would be fun if we all went this year.  We truly did have so much fun! We all chose different things to paint.  Elle chose a reindeer ornament and a star ornament.  Kenny chose a Santa ornament.  I chose a tiered Christmas tree ornament and then we did a footprint ornament for Walker's.  Somehow I knew Kenny would be all over this.  Whenever we decorate cookies or anything like that, Kenny always is the most detail oriented and makes the best looking things! Of course I was right! His Santa ornament looked awesome when he was finished with it.  I was happy with how it all turned out!

Walker was pretty thrilled with his paint brush we let him play with.

Please look at that Santa! He did so good!

Walker took an epic nap after all the fun in the morning and then lunch out at Harvey's as a family. This was right after I layed him down.

That afternoon Kenny and Elle put together a gingerbread train and decorated it.  It was fun but I think Elle was a little tired.  She was a smudge disinterested at times.  But it still turned out great and they had a good time doing it together.

That is Elle's favorite part!
