Today we enjoyed a nice church service, a quick trip to Wal-Mart, lunch at Los Arcos and some fun Christmas activities. My little helper was very eager to get his hands dirty (and lick the bowl!) to assist me with chocolate cover peanut butter balls and decorating some Christmas trees.
The PB balls were a pain and didn't really turn out as I imagined. Good thing it's not the looks that count, but the taste! And they.are.GOOD! We moved on to a more Stryker friendly treat. Instead of a gingerbread house, we made Christmas trees this year. We used sugar cones, icing dyed green and some M&Ms. Stryker did a great job putting the candies on his tree. At first, he wasn't digging the green icing being all over him, but then he figured out it was purely sugar and delish! I think he may have eaten more icing and M&Ms then not, but we had a good time.
Back in November, we made salt dough ornaments to send to Uncle Bubba for his tree. Stryker had so much fun doing these as well! He helped mix the dough, roll it out, cut the shapes and then painted them! We will absolutely be making these again next year for our own tree!
I just love doing these fun things with my little man! I hope he appreciates it and one day looks back on these traditions we are making. Either way, Mommy & Daddy are enjoying each moment of this Season with him!
