Christmas Crafting

 This morning the boys and I got up to some Christmas crafting (thanks pinterest)! After scrolling through random Christmas stuff on pinterest during a late night nursing, I came up with the perfect way to use up all of our empty toilet paper rolls. I dug the paint out of the craft bin as soon as the boys started fighting and side tracked them with a project. While we waited for the toilet paper rolls to dry, we made glowing chalk Christmas lights on black construction paper. I then stapled everything together and let them go nutts decorating their trees with glitter glue, bingo stampers and stickers. It was funny to notice the difference in the two boys. Hyrum was very meticulous about where he was putting the circles on his tree. Joe slapped together a little bit of this, a big glob of glitter and called it good. Some of the differences are due to age, but I think a lot has to do with their personalities. It's so fun seeing how Hyrum approaches things carefully, while Joe dives in with both feet and makes sure there's always a little bit of everything. They were quite proud of their finished product!
