December 16th!

Well, today, we finally got all caught up with crafts and activities! We hung our salt dough ornaments on the outside tree (although they're all blowing off now in that horrid wind!) We also finished our hand print Santas and made our cotton ball ones as well as some hand print elves! Then for our activity, we filled those hand print clear ornaments we made a few days ago with hot chocolate and sprinkles and put them in some cute boxes to give out to the family members celebrating Landon's belated birthday supper on Wednesday!  Then, tonight, we read a Christmas Poem and a Christmas Rose from my Christmas Treasury and learned about Christmas in France.

 Happily eating his glue and cotton balls!

 Two slightly creepy, cotton ball Santas.

 Putting the finishing touches on the hand print Santa.

 Look at the cute little hand print elves!

 Colorful, tasty and special!

 Our ornaments before they went careening in the wind!

 How cute-the little mouths were Landon's idea.

Ta-da!
