In our home we celebrate Christmas! We love the stories and songs. At the library we found a lot of great Christmas picture books that are new to me. A Dozen Silk Diapers
When I was a child, living in Los Angeles, our family had a Christmas tradition of visiting Olvera Street, the oldest street in the city, to see the parade of Las Posadas. I was very excited when I came across these two books.
Pedro: The Angel of Olvera Street
A couple of things we've been doing out of, Things to Make and Do for Christmas by Ellen Weiss
Pinwheel Wreaths
These cut out paper guys in the book were "Dancing Santa Ornaments" but Sylvia made a Gingerbread man...
...and a cat.
Luke made a "Dancing Ninja Ornament."
We go through a lot of paper in our house. I'll often find all four of our kids at the table drawing pictures. I encourage this because my favorite thing to do as a child was to draw whatever I wanted. I love how each of my children are developing their own style. Today I wanted to show Isabel's cute style. I love the pink cheeks and how she includes names and ages. Oh and she draws the most beautiful dresses.
