CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE: DAY ELEVEN

It's hard not to be in reaction mode during the holidays!  There's so much going on!  I still don't have my Christmas shopping even close to being done (that's actually, NOT like me).


This Saturday afternoon was planned by me, because it's not something I HAVE to do.  It was nice to spend time celebrating the holidays in a non-rushed, relaxing environment and creating things with my daughter and her cute friend. 

One of the flowers we made.  See my wreath?  It's filling up! 

A lot of firsts.

* I initiated a play date for my daughter.
* suggested we make fabric flowers
* I pulled out all the stuff and let the girls make a huge mess (and beautiful creations) all over the place
* I didn't rush them
* I didn't go and do something else "while they were occupied".  I stayed with them and had a ton of fun.

Should have taken pictures of the girls.  But I forgot about the blog.  Self-portraits were taken in the quiet of midnight.  :)
