Christmas Crafts

We let Lydia help decorate the gingerbread house this year. I was a little anxious about the mess that she was making at first, but then it turned out to be really fun with her help. She sprinkled balls on the roof and placed gummies at odd spots on the siding.
This morning was really the first time I had her do a little craft. She enjoyed carefully applying a dot of glue to the tree,
and then placing a cute ribbon piece.
After each little decoration was applied, she would exclaim, "I did it!"
I think she learned that from Dora.
Oh, she was so proud of herself, and I'm so proud of her too!
