Pajama Elf!

No explanation needed - just a cute Elf in his pajamas!

Over-The-Door Santa

Kirra had Wood Shop class the last 9 weeks of the first semester and really loved it.  I think she liked Home Ec the first nine weeks just a little more - but that was due to a fabulous teacher.  Kirra loves art and loves to create and in wood shop she was able to create and then paint.  The top picture shows a Santa decoration I have that goes over the frame of a door.  

Kirra took it down, took it to wood shop with her and created one of her own! 

  

Pretty impressive and quite adorable!  She traced and cut each piece out of wood and then came home and painted him.  He will have a spot of honor over a doorway in our house next Christmas!

Snowman

Each year for Christmas we try to create hand-made cards for the kids' teachers.  

This year we used potatoes as stencils and made some very cute snowmen!

And a sampling of the amazing things Kirra is doing in her art class!  

She looks forward to this class each week and comes home with some pretty fabulous creations.  

I framed this and we will use it for many winters to come!
