christmas: a sweet and simple craft

Ella pulled a "do a craft with Mom" card from our activities advent the other day. I think it's her favorite one, besides "choose a holiday treat." Yep, the girl has a major sweet tooth.

So we twisted pipe cleaners together to make candy canes for Ella's tree. (Real ones would mysteriously disappear, I'm sure! :)) They look darling. Then we had fun forming letters and spelling words. Ella loved adding a little "whip-dee-do" at the end of each letter. :)
