Making Ornaments

This year is the first in many that we'll be getting our own Christmas tree, and we're very excited.  However, we have very few ornaments to hang on it, so we decided to make some of our own.  First, Serena and I stirred up a batch of salt dough and rolled it out:

Then we used cookie cutters to cut out shapes:

 After we'd used up all the dough, we put the ornaments on cookie sheets and baked them:

Once they were hardened and cool, Serena and Bryn got to work painting and decorating them:

We're very proud of the finished products:

 And today is another day to create more arts & crafts!

Aaaaaaaand -- we're back!

Baby love.  How cute are these two?!  We are busily preparing for Thanksgiving by making turkey napkin holders out of construction paper:

More to come.  It's good to be back.  :-)
