the boys love the smash-the-ornament game from great mom mom!
we made "christmas clay" one night and baked them, then painted them the next morning (i am pretty sure this recipe for homemade "clay" is an old hard tac biscuit recipe from crossing the ocean...just water, flour, and salt).
a couple days before christmas pace informed me he wanted to stay in his pj's "all the day's 'til christmas". we definitely had a couple all-pj days in there, but we did run errands on christmas eve, so pace agreed to put clothes on for that.
max insists on pulling the paintbrush from my hand--two years in a row now, and he hits the same spot on his forehead/hair!
i also told the boys about an artist named george seurat, who only painted with dots. they thought doing dots on their ornaments was a pretty cool technique.
on christmas eve pace turned his chair into a bulldozer. at least clean up wasn't too bad--i told him to bulldoze everything back into his room or santa wouldn't have room to put new presents that night.
i also successfully made my mom's manna for the first time! i figured if i had just made 120 cinnamon rolls, manna should be no sweat. turned out just like i remember it tasting!
