Choosing the Ornaments

The last few years, the kids have gotten an ornament each Christmas. This year, in an effort to cut back on some of our needless expenses and to have a bit of fun, we went to a pottery place and let the kids choose and paint ornaments. Maddie painted a gingerbread girl, Will chose an angel, Jon painted a flag, Ben colored a penguin, and Nana made a wreath. The kids had fun painting, it gave us something different to do on a Friday morning, and now we have ornaments to put on the tree for this year. When we get around to putting up the tree, I'll get a picture of each of the kiddos with their fired ornament.
