Christmas Ornaments

This weekend we had to get our minds off the bug, so we decided to make these ornaments.  I remember growing up with similar ornaments that my dad made when he was little, so we thought we would give it a try!

They just have three ingredients, so they were pretty simple...



^^^Carter cutting out shapes.  Think he might need to eat a bit more?




^^^We also wrote our Santa letters.  Carter is hoping for a Lightning McQueen bike!


^^^Peter just really wanted to eat the dough.

^^^Carter getting them ready to go in the oven.




 ^^^They cooked for two hours, so I painted them when they were finished to get them ready for the boys after naps.

 ^^^Then it was time to decorate with glitter glue!



 And, a sampling of the finished product (minus the string to hang them with)...























We had a blast doing it and can't wait to give them to others for Christmas!
