Pottery

We were missing Aunt Karen, Uncle Sean, Aunt Jen and Daddy, but we went ahead and had a pottery day and had a lot of fun!

The girls did awesome! It was their best year yet! I was especially impressed with Peanut’s focus. She sat there for nearly an hour and half painting coat after coat on a single little leaf ornament!

Mama painted a beautiful cross but I didn’t get an “after” picture.

We had to get our Sonic before painting. :) We did this the Monday after Christmas week and apparently that was the perfect time to go because we had the place to ourselves the entire time! It was nice not to have to worry about the kids being too loud or disturbing other patrons.

All the girls did great! Boo meticulously painted this little cupcake dish. Noni helped her smooth it out a little, but she worked hard on it and it turned out great!

Peanut had very definite ideas about what she wanted. She would tell me which color she wanted, and which spot she wanted it on, and then she would paint until it was gone, asking for another color.

Bug painted a little penguin and did a lot of cute details like a polka dot scarf and little bow in the hair. :)

Noni did some little ceramic numbers to put in birthday cakes.

Cheese! After she was done painting she happily sat and watched Curious George on my tablet until the rest of us were finished.

And the finished product! Way to go girls!

And here is mine. I did Peanut’s handprint and made little snow family. Her thumb kind of went off so it only ended being a four-man family. :)

Already looking forward to next year!
