ART

 Pointilism: the theory or practice in art of applying small strokes or dots of color to a surface so that from a distance they blend together.

 This is one of Kaitlyn's art projects this year.  

It was posted on the CGHS e-trailblazer.

A Productive Sunday Afternoon

The Christmas village is set up.

I don't get it out every year, but now I have a nice long mantel to display it on.

When I was done setting up the village, Kaitlyn asked if I wanted to put up the tree.  She lugged the biggest part up the stairs for me and put it together.  After that tremendous effort, she enjoyed watching Aubrey and I decorate the tree from her lounging position on the couch.

Aubrey getting into her work.

 Putting the angel on top is the finishing touch.

 The Christmas Tree is done!
