Ah, Christmas. The girls and I had a great time making Hawaiian ornaments and oatmeal soap for friends and family. I didn’t realize just how fragile the ornaments really were, and we sent some off to the mainland. I would be surprised if any of them arrived fully intact. (If you received a box full of glass shards and sand, sorry! It’s not an insult!)
Kezia and Ivy making the soaps:
We began a tradition this year that was a lot of fun. We made a paper link calendar counting down the days until Christmas. Each link had written on it a nice thing to do that day, like give someone a kiss or write someone a letter, etc. It helped the girls count down the days til Christmas and helped remind all of us that the greatest gift we can give is ourselves. Here's a picture of a doggie Ivy made for Daddy on the day the link said, "Make something for someone". (Check out the trail of creativity flowing from the art cabinet):
