Felt Christmas Trees

Anytime you make Christmas trees of any kind it is fun!  This was a very simple (which is why I enjoyed it the most) AND fun craft.  This too was part of our 25 Days of Christmas this year.  

Big K girl loaded hers up to the point we really couldn't even pick it up!

Iced Christmas Trees!

Got this idea from Pinterest...to ice something a little more kid friendly than those tough gingerbread houses.  Ice waffle cones and stick M&M's on for the ornaments.  We did this as part of our 25 Days of Christmas and it was one of the favorites.  Little K didn't exactly put her ornaments on her tree.  They were just too tasty to pass up.  

Big K however, made sure hers were perfect and didn't take a single one out of place to sneak a bite!

"MistleToes" Craft

This definitely isn't art but it sure is a cute craft. And a keepsake for sure!  Fairly certain the pictures are self explanatory.   

Our dog always has to be all up in our business

And I just love painting their feet and watching their little tootsies curl because it's ticklish! =)

Didn't they turn out adorable?  I have them hanging on each of their bedroom doors now for the holidays! 

25 Days of Christmas 2011 Overview

Last year we started a tradition of doing fun activities for "25 Days of Christmas" leading up to Christmas day.  It was a hit and I LOVED planning it out for my girls.  Here is a little peak of our days in December 2011.  A couple of the day photos somehow got lost in the mix so I had to leave them out and I in no way put these in order so just check them out, enjoy, and feel free to steal!  Any special traditions you and your family participate in together?  

This was Day 1- Putting up the tree.  Never got around to editing this one! =) 

Stay tuned for this years 25 Days of Christmas as I update them on the blog as we go!!!
