An After Christmas Tree

Can it really be January already? I hope you all had a nice Christmas! I'll tell you a little about mine.
Waiting for Santa was exciting. Those are reindeer ears on my head and a mural that my brother and I made behind me. My dad always takes a picture of me asleep, waiting for Santa. ZZZZZ! That's my new Minnie Doll sleeping beside me.Christmas day was magical. I'm playing with my new McDonald's cash register and foods.



It's the happiest day of the year for children. On New Year's Eve we went sledding....and then stayed up till midnight to ring in the New Year. But now it is over. In January, we have to make our own fun. We start by making an After Christmas Tree for the Birds. This year it was extra special, since my cousins were here to help. First, get some pine cones and attach some pipe cleaner to the top to make them into ornaments.
Coat the pinecones with peanut butter. Some people use a lot of peanut butter. Some people use a little, like me.Go ahead and get a little more.

While you're at it, why don't you taste a little. Mmm, peanut butter! I sure hope that pinecone was clean.
Roll your peanut butter pinecone in some birdseed.
Hang your ornaments on the tree and watch the birds have a little After Christmas Feast. I'm off to make some more January fun. There's no way I'm getting the holiday blues. In a few hours, we're heading to Disneyworld! I'll tell you all about it when I get back. Have a great week, everybody!
