Paper projects for the HoHoHolidays

On December 3rd, we were coloring... I drew the blue snowman.

Check out Sydney's AMAZING red snowman!!!

On December 6th, we made a paper chain so that we can count down until Christmas; we take one off on our way to bed each night.

A few days ago, Sydney LOVED to help wrap presents with mommy! He picked out the wrapping paper for each present... SO, please do NOT be offended if your present is wrapped in Seuss' GRINCH paper; he REALLY likes that movie and is NOT insinuating anything at all.... he's TWO!

Sydney was SO PROUD to pull off a piece of tape ALL BY HIMSELF and proudly put it onto this wrapping paper. If only he knew that the tape goes on the OUTSIDE of the package!

TODAY... 12.12.11 (see below)

Sydney colored this gingerbread man while I worked on a paper chain of gingerbread men.

He was doing a GREAT JOB and was very proud - announcing all of the colors.

"You _ike my picture, Mommy?"

WHOA... we said the magic words ABBRA-CADABRA and LOOK!

Sydney quickly grabbed a marker and started racing me from the other end so that HE could draw faces and buttons on the gingerbread men.

Not bad for 2.5 years old. I think it is CUTE how he announces that they are HAPPY FACES; to me, they look a little sad. He's convinced that they are HAPPY, HAPPY, HAPPY!

Proudly making faces and buttons to help mommy.

Here they are - displayed on our front window(s).

We had to go onto the sunporch to admire all of our handy-work!

A photo WITH SYDNEY for size comparison!

I was excited for it to "get dark outside" so that I would have a dark background to photograph our work. NOTE: The toy puppy in the picture to document size ratios in the large picture window.
