It is that time of year! Time for the annual Yule mural to go up in our dining room. KC came up with the idea this year of creating a gingerbread themed picture. This may partly have been because he was a gingerbread boy in his dance recital this past spring. He had kept the head piece and we all had to have our pictures taken wearing it to adorn the painted gingerbread bodies that K created! We used a lot of foam stickers to decorate the gingerbread house and the trees. They are quick and easy and add cool dimension. Plus kids of all ages can do it. Above is the house with K in the door way.
Here is Fiona riding a sled full of presents down a hill. I had to get a bit creative with Fi's pic as she was not here to have her picture taken with the required head gear. Thank goodness for computers that make such magic possible! LOL
Chet and Rob gingerbread people decorating a big tree. You can't see Rob's gingerbread person quite as clearly as I would like but he has plaid pants painted on his gingerbread body. Plaid pants are his new "cool" fashion statement so we made sure to incorporate them. Chet is tangled in silver garland and wearing a candy cane as an earring. Chet is famous for using unusual things as earrings, so this also, sort of celebrates his personality.
Next Friday is Lissa's birthday and we are going to put a temporary flag on the back of Fiona's sled (or possibly a fake balloon) that says Happy Birthday Lissa.
