Can't see the forest for the trees

The results of this year's paint party with the grandkids. They couldn't stop with just one. This little tree article was a lifesaver for me this year.

Holy cow Tom, that looks like a pretty talented crop of new carvers you've been cultivating there. Great job by everyone. And Merry Christmas to you as well Tom.

Thanks Tinwood. This is our annual paint party. I can't seem to get them interested in the carving part.

Thank you Di, Santa is quite the party animal.

Thanks Claude, It was a fun project.

You have a bunch of lucky grandkids to have a grandpa to this with. What a great tradition!

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks Joe, it is always a good time. Not too stressful.

Tom I've seen the results of your yearly paint parties for a few years now and I can say those grand children of yours are really becoming quite the accomplished painters
Merry Christmas to you and your family,

Hi Merle, I keep thinking they are going to outgrow it, but they just keep asking for more. Merry Christmas

[Tom Ellis]

Hi Soggy, As my carving is going to decline, I hope their painting will cover up my mistakes. It has been a lot of fun. Merry Christmas

Kudos to you, Tom, for a great family tradition! Your grands will tell stories of this to their grands, hopefully while they pass on the custom.

[Tom Ellis]

Thank you Arthur, It has been a lot of fun for us all. Merry Christmas.

[Bob K.]

Your little artists did a super job, just like every year, Tom! Keep the tradition going!

[Tom Ellis]

Thanks Bob, I hope I last long enough to keep it going. I wish they would learn to carve their own.
