A Quick Christmas Craft

Our computer is officially broken, so I can only blog from Chris' computer.  So blogging will be less than usual, sorry!
Earlier this week, the girls and I made crayons for cousin's Christmas gifts.  I found this idea on pinterest.  I bought a gingerbread mold at walmart and so the girls had fun sorting all of our broken crayons by color.  Taking the papers off the crayons was the most labor intensive part of the process (I suggest having another adult friend to help you.  And use a safety pin or needle to score the paper and then peel.).  It was really fun to take the mold out of the oven and see all of the wax melted together!  Gianna did not want to "give" them up as she wanted to color with them all day long.  I hope that Phoebe, Colin and Austin enjoy!

Color Fiend

When she decides what to wear, her outfits are ridiculously colorful. Green turtle neck, pink shirt over it, polka dot sweatshirt over that. Green polka dot pants with orange socks and pink crocs. Heehee.

But this post is more about her coloring obsession. She has recently become infatuated with coloring. She would rather color than watch tv. If someone is coming to visit (like Uncle Matt or Aunt Shanny) she just has to draw them a picture. She often colors and then asks me to put it on facebook. Some pictures she even wants to sleep with. So sweet.

She is also starting to randomly tell me or Chris that she loves us. In the bath the other night I was washing Elia's hair, and she said "Mommy, I love you!" She will say it at the most random times, and it just makes my heart swell. Love her.
