Painted Balsa Wood Christmas Trees

The kids and I Finally, something Christmassy!

The girls and I painted Christmas trees last weekend.

The blanks themselves are as gorgeous as the painted trees.
We sat at our kitchen table with our acrylic paints,
paintbrushes and toothpicks, and painted.
Jenna did these:

Emily did this:

Kate did these:

That purple-and-yellow tree is just beautiful.
I think it is my favorite.
I painted, too

but I think I got the snow position reversed on this tree.

And this one, on hindsight, looks like a caterpillar.

I liked this one, at least.

One out of three. Ah, well.
They look pretty together, anyway.

Especially out in the snow. The real 24-degree snow.

Which, now that it has finally hit us,
is making it look a lot like Christmas0.

Happy Advent, everyone!
