Natural History Museum

This weekend we met up with some new and old friends at the museum.
Everyone had a really nice time.


Can I just say how happy I am to have hubby around?  

Life is just more fun when we're together.

Baby Chuck meets some distant relatives

Can you believe all the ornaments are origami?  Ah-maaaa-zing.

Merry Christmas!

Hope you have a wonderful time celebrating with friends and family.  

Here are some photos and a video from our recent Toddler Time Christmas party.

DIY Felt Nativity Finger Puppets with Pattern

Last night I put the finishing touches on my felt Nativity finger puppets.  

They're now hiding under our tree.  

Hopefully Baby Chuck will like them.  

To create these little guys I just traced the different pattern pieces onto felt and used fabric shears to cut them out.  Then, I used hot glue to first glue the features onto the front of the puppet and then I glued the front and back pieces of the puppet together.   I was going to put googly eyes on them, but I had a feeling that Baby Chuck would just rip those suckers right off.  Maybe I can try drawing on them with permanent marker?  Hmm....

In case you want to make your own set, I've attached my pattern down below.  If you try making them I'd love to see your results.

Happy Christmas eve!
