Oranges and Sticks

Yesterday I cooked and dried some orange slices...

...and Papa drilled some holes in some sticks.  
Sounds like an odd day...

...but we did it so the children could make these cute Christmas decorations today!  They even have little bells on and they smell awesome too.


And then we used ribbons and the remaining sticks to decorate a tree in the garden.




This afternoon we took out 50 library books, took our car to the garage to watch our two front tyres get changed, Ballet Girl wrote a beautiful Christmas story, Monkey Girl read for hours and this evening Ballet Girl and Monkey Girl have gone rock climbing. All in a day's work :)
