Playing catch-up Advent style

Today was an advent extravaganza, but we're still behind. Kenzie thrives on structured activities though and got a kick out of both of these. Mid-afternoon we did this one:



We didn't have a full collection of holiday cards just yet, and I couldn't dismantle those that were of the family photo variety, so we made some art out of the slim pickings. No worries, Kenzie's just like her mama and can make something out of nothing. I figure we'll add more embellishments to this as new holiday cards roll in via the mail.



Secondly, after Kenzie's nap, we completed this activity:



Well, in argument of my face painting abilities...it's exceptionally difficult to paint a wriggling child. Especially when using paint left over from Halloween. The leftover paints tend to be a bit...ahem...hard.



Here's Kenzie comparing herself to Rudolph, in the mirror:



After studying herself very carefully at angles, head-on, and the comparison...She exclaimed:



"I look kinda CrAzY!!!!"

I started laughing hysterically... and pretty soon we both were. I guess you can't fool a 2.5 year old. She's wise beyond her years.
