As promised I am sharing Nathan's nursery school Christmas artwork. I know he had great fun doing them and Becky has them proudly displayed.
The first one is a Christmas tree bell ornament - from the front. Sorry about the flash across the face, that was caused by reflection. The nursery staff must have taken the photo of Nathan as none of us had seen it before.
Now from the back
Obviously had lots of help with the writing lol.
Now two different Christmas trees:
Not to forget the Christmas stocking
A "plant" made out of his handprints
Lasty, a calendar.
Hasn't he done well? He is growing so fast and is now a person and not just a baby anymore. I can remember making things for my parents, oh so very many years ago and I still have little gifts Becky made for me. It still brings a lump to the throat.
We had a visitor last night and Mike took a short video, very short - only about sixteen seconds. He wished a Merry Christmas to all (and I am sure that includes you).
And finally.......
REMEMBER THIS AT CHRISTMAS TIME: According to the Alaska Department of Fish and Game, while both male and female reindeer grow antlers in the summer each year, male reindeer drop their antlers at the beginning of winter, usually late November to mid-December. Female reindeer retain their antlers till after they give birth in the spring.
Therefore, according to EVERY single historical rendition depicting Santa's reindeer, EVERY single one of them, from Rudolph to Blitzen, just had to be a girl!
We should have known... ONLY women would be able to drag a fat-arsed man in a red velvet suit all around the world in one night and not get lost!

Love Nathan's artwork Jeannette, got all that to look forward to, as my grandson is only 15 months old. I have some things I've saved from my own children's youth and they still give me pleasure.
Merry Christmas to you all!
best wishes

ROFL at the female reindeer! You have me in stitches here. Nathan's artwork is so nice. I also have a huge rubber tote of all three of my children's things they made me. Those things are priceless. Hello to Santa! Love xx Chris

thats funny and cute what you wrote about the reigndeer. how cool santa came by that is neat third entry I have seen where that happens in other places. cute art work I love glitter nad playing with it. The brown star is a star of David how cool
The items Nathan made are indeed precious. I still have those types of things my kids made. The only thing that still exsists from my young school days is a pig cutting board I made in the 2nd or 3rd grade. One of the students fathers cut them out of thin wood then each student painted the faces, etc on them and then the dad took them and put varnish or something on them to seal the wood. My mam never used it as a cutting board (of course) and gave it to me many years ago after I was married. At this moment it's hanging on the wall in my kitchen. Linda in Washington
What a good job Nathan, Merry Christmas to you DIANE
love the video, love his masterpieces that he made....the kids sure grow up quick!!!! I never knew all the reindeer were girls. HOW COOL!
HUGS, lisa
Oh,I love these! They are the best! The innocense of little children just steals my heart every time! Thank you!
Love,

I just love these. My son is 29 and I still have some of his stuff and his sister's things they made in school. They grow so fast. what I would give to have a few minutes with them again at that size. He did really well and those are lifetime keepsakes.
MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!

Pam
I did get an alert, after all! J
That's hysterical! Didn't know that.
Just thought I'd stop by and wish you a Merry Christmas Jeanette. I have loved reading your journal these past months. (Secretly hoping you find a new mystery for us in January) Take care.

Merry Christmas friend! Tammy
Hello Jeanette,
He is quite the little artist. Tell him he did a great job and they look beautiful.
Huggers,

Love Nathans pictures, he did a very good job. I have things my kids made and now that grandkids made tacked up here and there all over. Kids are so innocent and creative. Have a great day, Joni
aww so cute!
I can see Nathan is going to be very talented when he gets older, his art is lovely...love the graphics Jeannette...Best wishes!
Astra!
Wonderful Jeannette! I love Nathan's Christmas 'presents' for his family, I can imagine how proud he was when he gave them to Becky, bless him! She'll need more kitchen walls once Daniel starts pre-school too! I had heard that about the female reindeers before, I don't know where though, but it's a good fact to repeat to the men! ~~~ Pat
Another lovely entry Jeannette. I loved little Nathan's pictures, ahhhh. Hugs. Terry x
dear Jeanette
Wow! I am toally impressed wiht all that he can do now! No wonder youare so proud! Woohoo!
I absolutley love your reindeer story! and I did not know it! so cute! love,natalie
I have all my kids Christmas projects from preschool thru elementry school in a box. I'll never get rid of them. Thanks for sharing.

Loved the pictures of the precious art work. Every now and then some of my grandchildren's art work will find its way to Grammy's house, and I display it on the fridge for months and then finally lovingly pack it away in a Grammy box. Does anybody else notice that grandchildren grow even faster than our children did?
Hi Jeannette !!!!!!!!!
Nathan's artwork is beautiful and I like it. I would have displayed them too if I were Becky. I love the Christmas tree bell ornament. I wish I would have been there to see Santa Claus I'm sure you all enjoyed that. I get to play Santa Claus tomorrow because I will be giving gifts to my coworkers tomorrow at work. We are going out to eat for a Christmas lunch which I'm sure will be quite fun. I hope that they will like their presents. I also hope that you and your family will have a great Christmas. Take care and I would like to wish you all a very MERRY CHRISTMAS.

Nathan did a great job!! My favorite is tree number 2. Go, go Santa's Does!!!! - Barbara
Nathan those are wonderful works of art!!
Linda :)
I am just getting to the older entries in my mailbox ( Only 347 Days Till Christmas, on your banner, lol ) Nathan's artwork is wonderful. I can barely remember making 'handprints' when I was his age in kindergarden. After kindergarden, art was never a subject until highschool and then just minimal study. Band was the big thing that was always promoted and I was in it for a few years but found I am not a musician. I can see that Nathan has an eye for symmetry and should continue to develope his ability. I was able to watch the short 16 second clip of the 'Santa and Sled' a few seconds at a time. mark
