Maddy & Grace Making Cinnamon Ornaments on Christmas Eve

Maddy & Grace made applesauce cinnamon ornaments together this morning. Grace enjoyed smelling the cinnamon prior to making the ornaments. Jack enjoyed smelling the cinnamon too! Once the dough was made, Grace & Maddy used rolling pins to flatten the dough. Grace asked Maddy to trace her hand in the dough ~ this was her favorite part!
Hard working hands!
Grace & Maddy used cookie cutters to make different ornament shapes.
Another favorite part of making cinnamon ornaments for Grace was cleaning up! Grace loves to wash her hands. She tells everyone that it is very important to wash their hands for at least "twenty minutes!"
Here are the finished applesauce cinnamon ornaments. Maddy has them drying by our wood pellet stove. Tomorrow morning Maddy & Grace will tie ribbons through the holes that they poked with a straw. Some of the ornaments will be hung on our Christmas tree and the others will be given to friends and family. Grace made a very special ornament for "Jack-Jack," which is my favorite. Maddy & Grace also enjoyed making the orange cloves (seen here) earlier this week.

Those applesauce cinnamon ornaments and oranges with cloves look so good I can almost smell them! What a great activity to do for Christmas. Maybe it will develop into a holiday tradition for Maddy and Grace into the future.
Love, Uncle Adam

Read your article, if I just would say: very good, it is somewhat insufficient, but I am

still tempted to say: really good!
