Christmas tree for the birds

Today I am reusing our Christmas tree by decorating the branches with fresh cranberries and popcorn strands. I also coated pine cones with peanut butter and bird seed. Underneath the tree I scattered bird seed, popcorn, and cranberries for the rabbits and squirrels.

Christmas with Family

This week we spent time with our family celebrating the Christmas season. Rachael and Elliot got matching remote-control cars! I crocheted Rachael a stuffed penguin, she loved it! I got a hand a made apron from Rachael and Aunt Tracy and Monopoly Here and Now world edition electronic banking form Grandma and Grandpa. I love my family!

Gifts in a Jar Party

This week I had some of my friends over and we had a great time making cookies in a jar. We each brought some ingredients. Mom and I supplied the jars and main ingredients. We also decorated the jars with fabric and ribbon. Then we all shared our white elephant gifts we brought. I made tea and cookies to share.

Playing Christmas Carols

I have learned 2 Christmas carols on the piano so far. I know how to play Carol of the bells, and angels we have heard on high very well. Now I'm working on Jingle bell boogie.

Going to the Christmas tree farm

This week we went to a Christmas tree farm. We choose a 6ft. Fraser fur tree I think that the tree is very beautiful. We decorated it with our collection of ornaments and lights!

Sammy's Birthday

Today is our well loved Labrador retrievers 9th birthday. We made a yummy cake for him with his favorite vegetables in it (carrots, broccoli). We also gave him his favorite toy, the squeaky football. Today we had one of Sammy's friends Ginger the dog down the street over to celebrate! We are very grateful for our wonderful dog! Happy Birthday Sammy!
