Our Christmas craft for the day yesterday was making homemade snow globes! Bottle brush trees, pickle jars, fake snow, and a little glue, and presto....waterless snow globes! Gage loaded his up with so much snow at first that we couldn't see his tree! They love them, and we'll probably have these pickle jar snow globes as Christmas decorations for years to come :-) Savannah was feeling a little camera shy, so she wouldn't let me take a picture. But, when Daddy skyped us from Belgium last night, she ran to get her globe so she could show Daddy.
Snowy Reindeer, our Elf on the Shelf, caused some distress that morning. He found the bag of fake snow and was hugging it on the counter. He had poked the bag open and sprinkled snow all over himself and the counter. Savannah got very upset because we can't touch him, and he was holding our fake snow hostage!! So, we had a talk with him and asked him to please let go of the snow while we were away during the day so we could make snow globes later that day. He did what we asked, but left a big mess on the counter. Today, we found him asleep inside the tissue box, where he made a little pillow of tissues and covered himself up with a tissue blanket.
