McBonbon Christmas!

The Christmas mood struck the McBonbon household this week and because our kids enjoy doing arty stuff so much, we decided to let them get their creative freak on!  We purchased some baubles from the Warehouse, along with some foam stickers, and voila! Christmas art!

Emersyn very hard at work!
The kids each decorated their baubles and then we took the requisite photos of the kiddos with their creations.

Of course what use are decorations without a Christmas tree?  The Christmas tree went out and then the kids were given the all important job of decorating the tree... and I have to say, they didn't do too bad!  Naturally there were photos taken with the tree before we headed outside to decorate a couple of the trees in the front yard... with all those left over decorations it seemed like the right thing to do (even if most of them have now blown off in the wind...).

The kids were all very well behaved so I think we may do some more Christmas art over the next couple of weeks, before Lauriel, myself, Emmy & Gab head down to Christchurch and Eloise and Aidan go to spend the Christmas period with their dad.  I am pretty sure there will be some Christmas baking done as well when we find the inspiration!

Fail.

Our crazy foursome...
getting them all to smile & look at the camera wasn't working...
As always four children smiling and looking at the camera wasn't working
.... funny faces it is!
Final product! 3/4 kids looking at the camera, 2/4 smiling... good enough for me!

I happen to think it looks awesome!
