if you think you are a patient person....

If you think you are a patient person, I challenge you to make 300 salt dough ornaments with an almost-2 year old! (you can borrow my toddler for an afternoon if you think you are up to the challenge!) Julianna wears an old button up shirt with the collar cut of and the sleeves trimmed down to size. Works like a charm!

Our first Christmas package arrived and we dug in this morning! (No, we didn't start unwrapping gifts yet - just the stuff we were supposed to have and enjoy the whole season!) Julianna and Lydia are now proud owners of hand-knitted stockings from Grandma Jan. They are beautiful! I'll take a photo and post it soon.

Here's a photo of Julianna digging in to the goodies.
