Playing full body  rock, paper, scissors.







The crafts we did were; Making candy canes out of pipe cleaners and beads, Decorating felt Christmas trees with felt ornaments and beads, Making cards for charity.

Making crafts.

We had a talent show from all the kids who wanted to perform, I didn't perform because they didn't have a piano and that is the only thing that I play! We also had a group singing for all the kids, it was really fun!

Deck your horse...

Hello! I had this cool idea for a Christmas card this year. A couple of days ago, I put it into action. My idea was to get my horse Trixie and my dog Sasha, put reindeer antlers on them and a Santa hat on me, and take some pictures. Simple right? Ha, not so much!

First, Trixie is terrified of the reindeer antlers.  Then she is scared of the Santa hat.  Then she is horrified by the reindeer antlers on US!  She must have thought we had been abducted by aliens! I had to stick my hand in the Santa hat like it was a glove, and start rubbing her down with it - to show her that it won't hurt her.





Finally, she finds out that it is not a dangerous horse eating monster. So I stood next to Trixie, put my hand in the Santa hat, and held it above her head to make it look like it was actually on her.  I told my mom to take the picture QUICK!  Guess what?  Trixie also doesn't like the flash! 



Aah! Bright light!

 Oh, and the hat decides not to cooperate, and falls off her head. So I set the hat on her ear and tell mom to take the shot. 

Get it off my ear!



Finally, I get some good pictures - but I can't show them to you yet! (evil laugh -mwahahahaha)

Trixie finds out that reindeer antlers aren't evil mind control claws!  Gasp!

 All in all, a very interesting experience.
