Karen's Clan

I'm in holiday mood full tilt, so blogging has taken a bit of a back seat! We're relishing our time as a family, and the boys are so chuffed to have open ended summer days with their dad - as is Belle I might add!

This year I hosted a Christmas craft club for eight little kiddies in my neighborhood, and we had a blast. I'd love to be able to show you all the photos of the morning, but I was busy, busy, busy, and if I'm honest I just clean forgot!

Again, inspired by Pinterest, we made this Christmas card using their hand prints after reading the story of the real, original Santa Claus:

 We made some Christmas trees, which we're intending to put a photograph inside...



After playing and eating, we then made Christmas trees by painting our feet....


Sadly ours didn't look a bit like this! I think this is an artists representation of what it could look like, but the children I did this with all had feet with much higher arches, so this really only works well with very small people - toddlers! Still, the tickles and laughter when we did this was worth it!

All in all, a fun filled morning for my three, and a great way of spreading the joy and love this season!
