Payton took time from his regularly scheduled playing to make a fake smile for the camera.
Even Cal enjoyed watching the kids open their gifts.
We made these ornaments for our friends and family for Christmas this year. They went with the hot chocolate we made. Or as Payton calls it, snowman soup, and Reagan adds 'with snowman poop' (the marshmallows.) Unbielably, I didn't take 1 photo of the ornaments.
But here is the recipe so we can make them again.
Homeade ornaments
Preheat oven to 300 degrees
Mix together 2 cups flour
1 cup salt
1 cup water
Knead together.
Roll out and cut with cookie cutters.
Brush with beaten egg. (use food coloring & paint brushes to make special)
Use a toothpick to make a hole at the top of each ornament before baking.
Jim surprised us with a Christmas tree yesterday. When we came home from school and work it was up and smelling very piney! It's opening up nice. Cal is nibbling it with her front teeth so her snout smells like pine. We'll put the ornaments and lights on this weekend. Payton wanted Max the monkey to see it too!
Happy Friday!
