These are just a few of the salt dough ornaments we made. I tried a new “microwave” recipe this year-which was way quicker! Although I have to say that the ornaments puffed up just a little bit-instead of remaining completely flat. It wasn’t THAT big of a deal–we had fun!

We made a lot more than is shown here-the recipe made a ton! lol
Jacey also painted over the hole on some of the ornaments, but we got them to work, hehe~

Jesus sees me when I play…
Jesus sees me all the time…
and cares for me today!
Isn’t that cute!? It’s really cute also because they do “motions” with each verse. I had just walked in right before she was to say it, and was kinda worried that she would be too shy…but she wasn’t! She did a great job!
Anyways, on Monday it is Jacey’s turn to bring the snacks for the day at preschool. I think we are going to make some Christmas cookies on Sunday for her to take on Monday-along with some juice. We usually do healthy snacks, but I think this will be a fun treat for the kids! While Jacey was in preschool, Jadyn & I went over to Michaels Crafts and picked up cookie icings and glitters.
