Making our potpourri gift bags
Getting the cloves into the oranges was a little more difficult for them than I thought it would be! But they did a great job.
Quinn, getting his picture taken for the wreath ornaments we made. We missed having Addi that day. Sorry it took me so long to finish them and give them to you, but I guess that's the way it goes sometimes!

We had fun making our potpourri bags and ornaments today, and talking about giving gifts to others. Kudos to Missy the previous week for teaching them about gracious receiving. I love that she emphasized that, because it's definitely a learned art!
We also did some painting with evergreen branches, which turned out to be REALLY messy....but fun. The kids had lots of free time today and especially loved playing dress-up with the nativity costumes. I didn't direct them in this, so it was fun to observe them telling sides of the story that weren't in the Bible! Almost all of them wanted to be animals, so there was a lot of funny interaction there as they went to see the baby Jesus. I think the Barbies even took a trip in their minivan to see him!
