These days, all our art and craft sessions have been focused around Christmas. We’ve been making presents, cards, envelopes, cookies, gift tags, bon bons, Christmas ornaments, and… weird random gift things! The boys took the whole “making gifts for the people we love” idea and ran with it.

They came up with pipe cleaner jewellery, a pile of blue macaroni present, drinking straws laced with pom-poms. I kept asking them gently, “Do you really think Aunty Christine will like to have a toilet roll toothpick holder?”

And this is Sean making a “CAKE!” for “GONG GONG!” (Grandpa). It actually looked quite cute in the end, but it fell to bits when he dropped it on the floor. It was probably for the best, because I kept referring to it as his “CAKE!” and he got all confused and looked a little too excited about eating it.
