Another day of Christmas Crafts today, which Maddie named her 'Cake Party'. This time the Christmas Crafts involved some baking, stamping and construction. I over shot the kids abilities by miles when I ordered the Reindeer Headbands, considering that they were a challenge for me, but the kids seemed to enjoy the rest of the day. Hunter, Hugh, Grace and Maddie, all liked helping cook the cupcakes and they all seemed to love decorating their own cake. Only Maddie and Grace actually licked a beater which was a surprise to me, that's the best bit! 
The kids liked using the ink pads to decorate their stars, and even more for doing fingerprint cards, I think the messier the craft the more Maddie likes it. She went wild with the ink pads trying to take them to different parts of the house while I was preoccupied making headbands. Claire and Leah stopped her every time thankfully, but I am pretty sure Maddie wasn't impressed that she couldn't ink up the whole house. 
All of the kids were awesome and didn't touch my Christmas tree which I was pretty pleased about, they learn so quickly these days and can be so well behaved. I totally forgot to 'check' Claire's pockets on the way out though. Its great having someone appreciate my tree almost as much as I do, we will have to make plans to do more visits to the Christmas barn now I know that we have another Christmas lover around.
After the long morning Maddie and I chilled out waiting for Nathan to come home, then we went out to see the lighting of the Christmas tree. It was pretty awesome and Maddie was way better behaved than I was, probably because she had been fed well before 9pm. Poor Nathan had to go hunting for dinner for me to keep me quiet and only just got back in time to see the tree light up. I was very impressed with the images that some lights near the tree projected onto the surrounding buildings, they looked awesome and so festive. Although I resisted going out tonight I am glad we did, it is always good to do something different. Thank you Morgan's for inviting us along
