Winston's Photo Blog

It rained all day in OC on Wednesday. We made playdough with the fancy blender that mom has. It was easy and quick but I think I prefer the old fashion way.

Winston made a snowman, without a hat, surrounded by two snakes. He was carrying it around on a plate to show off his creation.

Winston also decorated his hair and made a mustache for himself.

Penelope's snowman had bunny ears made with leaves from the orange tree and a tail from the christmas tree.

We also made orange wedges dipped in dark chocolate. Winston and Penelope ate most of the chocolate while waiting for the wedges to boil.

Winston really likes looking at maps and charts. He is fascinated by the symbols.

These are two of his favorite videos mostly because there is lots of symbols.

The heron was not afraid of us at all. We got very close to it.

Winston playing with the knights that he asked for Christmas.

One knight dies during the battle. He is collecting money to buy the riding knight and horse that he says he is missing.

Winston has been very busy preparing for Christmas. He still has lot of gifts to make most of which will get done in LA days before Christmas.

Wreath

The wreath has leaves, pine cones and acorns collected during our walks around the neighborhood and hikes.

Christmas Tree
The decorations on the tree have all been made by Winston.

This is a picture of Winston hanging his salt dough ornaments. Tip: Make them thin as they get heavy once they are cooked also make the holes bigger than you'd think.

Peppermint Bark

Winston made peppermint bark for our neighbors and his nanny.

Walnuts

Preparing to make his spicy walnuts. He has so much fun breaking them using the meat mallet.

Winston's preschool class will be singing Burrito Sabanero in two weeks. The kids have been practicing every week and now that it gets getting close to showtime Winston has been asking tha I practice with him. I'm a bit torn about the whole things since I didn't celebrate Christmas as a child.
