I love to do crafts and so do the kids. However, we haven't made too many so far this school year. I think I'm pretty worn out after getting the book work and the housework done, so I haven't had many extra creative juices. But the kids and I recently took a trip to get some craft supplies, and today we started some Christmas crafts.

I decided we would make some ornaments. We took beads and pipe cleaners to make different objects. They had a lot of fun deciding which colors/patterns/shapes to use.




They were very creative with their objects and patterns.

These ornaments make great additions to our tree.

Christmas music playing in the background, the kids working hard on their crafts, and Judles fast asleep makes for a great relaxing afternoon. Now on to our next project!
