I was inspired to make these Christmas silhouette pictures with my bugs when I came across some festive Washi Tape on a recent trip to Michael’s.

And when M wakes up the first words out of his mouth are, “what’s Bob up to mommy?” I’m really glad we started this tradition. It’s been a lot of fun! If you missed Bob’s previous antics you can check them out here. This is what he’s been up to in the last 2 weeks:
