Christmas crafting

What better way to start a busy crafting day than with food!

After brunch it's time to get crafting!

Solanne shows off her new smurf look.

Samantha takes a more reserved approach with her ornament.

maïa is concentrating on her ornament.

Solanne's first masterpiece is done... what started off as a mishap with a glob of blue paint turned out to be a really neat 3D effect once the glitter was added.

Ornament decorating sometimes involves getting your hands a little dirty.

While Sam tries out the various craft supplies, Christopher has taken Cristina's advice to fall asleep.

The secondary artwork!

Derek shows himself to be quite proficient with the blow dryer.

Rubby's Christmas Beeker.

maïa checks out the work of her parents.

Cristina is getting into the spirit... the Christmas kind, not the alcohol kind. ;-)

Rubby and Christopher are supervising.

Cristina makes the traditional Christmas... crocodile?!

And of course what's a crocodile without a zebra?

Nothing says Christmas like a crocodile eating a zebra!

The finished products.

The girls (and Derek!?) are quite excited to make bead necklaces.

maïa likes the flower glass beads.

Solanne and Samantha admire maïa's necklace sparkling in the sun.
