E had J for Christmas this year. She made him a mail carrier's play set. I traced pictures on to fabric, she colored them and cut out post cards and envelopes out of felt. Then I sewed it together. J ran around delivering mail all morning.


J had D for Christmas. He went to a local rock shop and picked out 15 rocks that would fit into the little box we bought. Some of them were really cool looking. Then I put together a rock identification guide that told about the rocks J chose. I learned a lot about rocks putting together the booklet and D really likes the rocks.


K had E for Christmas he helped me choose and cut out paper to make these cute little books. He made her six books that she can write and illustrate herself. She has already finished one about a tea party where the tea got spilled and K ate the cookies. Don't worry in the end E saves the day by making more tea and pulling more cookies from the freezer. Her favorite gift this year was the tea set that Baba gave her.
