Christmas Ornaments

Friday evening (December 2nd) Charles and I had a fun date night! We stopped for a quick dinner at Abner's and headed to Mud Monkey Pottery to paint this year's Christmas ornaments.

After picking out his ornament, deciding on what to paint...

and hamming it up for the camera...

Charles got busy painting his ornament...
Charles picked a great ornament...
and I love what he decided to paint on it!!

I think his ornament turned out great!!

I picked out my ornament and after picking numerous paint colors for it got to work...

It took a while for me to decide what to paint and then took even longer for me to paint the snowmen scene on the front of my ornament...I had thought about painting argyle as the background, but due to our time constraints, I had to simplify my painting...

Charles said that he liked the simplified background, and I have to agree with him, I think my ornament turned out ok...

We both had lots of fun painting our ornaments!

While listening to Christmas music and a children's party upstairs!!

I can't wait to pick up the ornaments after they've been fired...

I think that they are both going to turn out great!!
