Christmas Countdown - Day 4 {Coloring}

Today's Christmas Countdown was coloring pictures for our visit to the nursing home that is planned for Day 14.  After much encouraging/cajoling, Karsten colored several pretty pictures.  He much prefers scribbling to coloring, so it was a bit of a battle.

After he finished coloring, he showed off his name writing skills.  They had just started working on this at Gail's and he's already doing a great job!





I love the pursed lips of this serious, focused face!




Jingle Bells, our elf, arrived from the North Pole on December 1st.  I'll occasionally include pictures of the crazy places that Jingle Bells decides to perch when he flies back from the North Pole each day.  Karsten found it hilarious that Jingle Bells likes to hang upside down!
