My sons were home sick from school today so we made the best of it and did some Christmas crafts together. One of the crafts was to make reindeer candy cane ornaments. It turned out I did most of the work since the hot glue gun was my job. But, the kids held the candy canes for me while I fastened noses and eyes, and then they helped wrap antlers around their heads and hung all 14 of them up on the tree. My younger son was particularly proud of our work. :)
This is how I found the boys when I walked into the living room. They were both lying under the tree looking up at all the ornaments and giggling/talking. Aren't children the BEST? They crack me up and make me smile and remind me daily what a joy life is. :)
I love the time of year when my Christmas cactus blooms! After all the rain this morning, I hurried out to take some closeups of one of the buds that had lots of water droplets dripping off of it. I think these blooms are so beautiful! :)
