Christmas Fun!

We went to an art gallery in the basement of the library that had a display of some neat gingerbread houses. Alexis really liked the princess castle.

We were going to make one out of real gingerbread but decided to make this one with card board and real candy and food. It was much simpler and still really fun.

Alexis kept saying "this is fun mom". She really liked dumping the purple sprinkles on the entry way and putting the chocolate chips on the roof.

She really liked measuring with the ruler to make the walls too!

Alexis by the "gingerbread princess Castle" we made.

These are babies from the show "Rugrats"

I think this was a self portrait if I remember right.



This was a scary happy pig. At the top she wrote her name the other stuff on the side is a story about the picture. I think it says mommy at the end.

This was a picture of mom. Again the scribbles are words.

I don't remember what they say.

Some glitter paints that came in the mail from grandma! She was really excited.

Alexis said it is a silly road for silly monsters that live on silly roads.

She got the idea to put differen't sticky notes on the page with pictures on them.

This is what alexsi said is the "scary other monsters"

Don't remember what these are supposed to be.

Alexis just said it's the scary silly silly monster.

This is a snowman by Alexis she drew all by herself on the computer. She said "He's a dot snowman. He's a hard snowman cause he can't melt" (she said this after drawing the sun).

She then drew the letter boxes and typed some words. They say "Hi Snowman! We are very nice to you. We are very nice to you. We are loving you today grandaughter grandma. We really love you snowman grandauhter. Hello Snowman! We are very nice to you.

Happy Thanksgiving

Alexis made this turkey on "Paintbrush" on our computer. I helped do the left side feathers, the eyes and beak. She did the rest all by herself. Isn't it adorable! She even typed Turkey!

New Paintings

These Paintings were done with some Crayola Paints we have.

Alexis likes to paint with them because of the bright colors.

Thanksgiving Turkey. Her full name and other writing.

I don't know what she wrote it looks like a pretty long message!

I just love to see what Alexis comes up with when she is making her own drawings and paper creations. I love the letters she wrights to "the relief society" usually to "sister may". She also likes to write notes to her Aunts and Grandmas telling them how much she loves them. Her other favorite as you can see is kitty creations. It is her favorite animal. I also love her self portraits and pictures of Shaun and I (Dad and Mom).

Fall Creations

Alexis loves art! She has showed interest since she was a baby. Lately we have been renting fun books from the library and making all kinds of paper crafts. Here are a few of her creations.
