this year sadie made kai a sock penguin. he LOVES penguins and he loved this one a lot!
abe made sadie a t-shirt with the nick-name given to her by her friends.
i helped kai make max a marble run made out of pvc pipes. it turned out awesome!
max had abe's name...it was tricky finding something max could make, but we came up with a mix of songs from their favorite show, phineas and ferb. abe thought it was great, especially the drawing by max on the cd.
the exchange....

christmas eve dinner
kai came home from school with a handmade snowflake made from popscicle sticks. i loved it so much we decided to make them for our christmas eve dinner decorations. the kids painted and glued and we hung them all around. it was simple and lovely!
i was so excited when i found these gross candies in the store. my grandma always had these and dried apricots in fancy candy dishes. it is a fun memory.
the purple glasses were my grandma haws' and i found the other glasses at a thrift store. what a find! i love them and they were perfect for our little dinner together. we listened to music, had a fantastic dinner, and opened presents. couldn't have been better.
