The fun never ends around here.

And today, the children decorated frosting Christmas trees, constructed with royal meringue icing and candy.  It’s like gingerbread house decoration, only without the architecture.  The smaller trees are upside down ice cream cones.  The larger ones are Styrofoam cones. 

I used to think my life as a mother would be one craft project after the next . . . reality is that one craft project over the span of a Christmas break is all I can manage.

Tomorrow?  Cookies, I think.  Brownies, for sure, for a church family with a new baby.  After that?  A mandatory Christmas pageant rehearsal.  Ho ho ho. 

But right now . . . David Letterman.

    That looks like great fun! I think I know a five year old little girl who’d love this project!
