| Snowmen! We decorated foam snowmen with some googly eyes, orange paper noses, and snowflakes.. (Q-tip dots!) |
 |
| "Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow!!" |
 |
| Ha-ppp-y Holidays! |
 |

 |

 |
| Busy as it.. |

| Boys enjoying it too! |
 |
| Our tree is coming along.. :) |
 |
| Yesterday we made flour/salt/water hand-print ornaments! Need: -2 cups Flour -1/2 cup Salt -10 Tblps Water (or lil more) Kneed for 15 minutes. |
 |
| It will look like this.. Roll into a ball! |
 |
| Roll it flat! I used a cool whip container to make perfect circles for the bigger kids hands and a coffee mug for the smaller hand-prints! |
 |
| Lay them out on parchment paper.. on top of a cookie sheet! (I forgot to punch a hole in it with a straw so you can hang it.. so I drilled holes in it after they were done baking! It worked!) |
 |
| Bake at 300 degrees for 45 minutes! |
 |
 |
| Add a lil paint - and WAL-LA! Didn't they turn out AWESOME?! |
 |
| We painted big popsicle sticks ornaments .. glued them together .. and added some string and a picture! |
 |
| We plan to decorate them with glitter and jewels! |
 |
| Another gift for our parents (Shhhh!!! Haha!) is a foam picture frame! Thank you Oriental Trading! :) |
 |
| "Look it's me!!" |
 |
| Crafting away! |

| Our end result! The kids did great! |
I also put together bags of M&M's for the kids with the saying (found it on Pinterest):
"As you
hold these candies in your hand
and turn them, you will see.
The M becomes a W, an E, and then a 3.
They tell the Christmas Story, it’s one I’m sure you know.
It took place in a stable a long, long time ago.
The E is for the East where the star shone so bright.
The M is for the Manger where baby Jesus slept that night.
The 3 is for the Wiseman bearing gifts when they came.
W is for Worship, Hallelujah, Praise His name.
So, as you eat these candies or share with your friends,
Remember the meaning of Christmas,
It’s a love story that never ends."
