We started to decorate today. We didn't get too far on the big tree yet but we got Vince's tree up in his room. He enjoyed decorating it himself. Oh and please forgive the outfit, this is what happens when a 2 year old picks out his clothes.
But once he was done, he promptly said, "go again"....after a few rounds, I think he's happy with the final product.
Anybody remember Vince's obsession with Santa last year? Maybe this will ring a bell....
We have this Vince-sized Santa that he took everywhere......
Maybe I should say dragged everywhere......poor Santa
Yep, Santa even had to go with us in the car....
Santa even got candy canes.....
Well as much as I dreaded packing Santa away last year, I was so excited to unpack him this year and I knew Vince would be thrilled......you can tell from the picture, right? Ok, so he may not look that excited but I promise he was. He even hung a "baby snowman" ornament from the snowman's nose and a "baby Santa" ornament from Santa's nose....that kid cracks me up.
We also did a fun craft today. We made our own Christmas crayons! I saw this on another blog and it looked fun. We just unwrapped a bunch of crayons, broke them (Vince's favorite part), and put them in this cheap-o silicone mold from Target's dollar section.
Then we melted them in the oven for 10-15 minutes and let them cool for about 30 minutes (probably should've let them cool longer.....several of them broke).
Ta da! Christmas crayons! Except for Vince thinking they were cookies coming out of the oven and attempting to eat them, it was a success! I even got a "mommy, you're awesome" out of this one! I highly recommend it! Hopefully tomorrow will be successful too!
