Surgery, Christmas Cards and Other "Crafts"

Sophia had surgery today to correct her umbilical hernia.  It was not a long procedure, but afterwards she was pretty upset when waking up from the anesthetic.  Sammy was so sweet - he tried to sing "Baby Mine" for her.  She was a total champ the rest of the day!  Here's how she spent the majority of it . . .

Cuddled on the recliner with a blankie and her pink CareBear!

Later on that day, Sammy and I worked on his Christmas cards.  Every year, we exchange Christmas cards with our playgroup friends!  I always try to have the kids make a homemade card - I think it's fun for them to work hard and then share their art with their friends.  Here's the cards we made this year . . .


It's meant to be a candle.  The inside says "Jesus is the LIGHT of the world!"  I cut the strips and the flames, Sammy glued them on and signed the inside.  It was a good use of my leftover scrapbooking paper for sure!

Sophia wanted to sign them as well . . . she also ended up signing her face!

We rounded out the day by decorating gingerbread men.  I was feeling a bit sad about the fact that we didn't decorate a real gingerbread house this year, so I thought this could be the next best thing!

At first, Mike was a bit hesitant, but he got really into it after a few minutes . . .

Sammy and his gingerbread man . . . Sammy loves icing, can't you tell?

Mike's final product.  I believe it looks like Mister Bill!

Sophia just loved eating the cookie and all the candy!
