What great pictures! Your home is just lovely, I'm jealous! And WOW, Nichole has grown so quickly, it seems like last week she was a little tot!
Thanks Crystal. I decorated early this year. Our Annual Open House is Sunday. We have over 120 coming. Nichole is amazing and I thank God for her every day.
Those really were great pics, Bea. Doug looks just like you and Bruce looks like Karl. I love Nichole's goth angel! lol Thanx for sharing. 
Thanks Cat. What is so strange is that as babies they looked so much alike that I use what they are wearing to distinguish one from the other in their baby pictures.
Those are great pictures Bea.
I should do ornaments with my kids, I bet they would love them.
You have such a nice looking family.
Thank you Emily. Here's the recipe for the salt dough.
1 cup salt
2 cup flour
1 cup water
Rolling pin
Cookie sheet
Toothpick
cookie cutters: star and Christmas tree
Acrylic paints: green, yellow, and various colors of your choice for tree ornaments
Glitter glue or glitter paint
ribbon
How to make it:
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix together, salt, flour, and water until dough is formed.
Knead the dough on a floured surface until the mixture is elastic and smooth. If dough is too sticky, sprinkle with flour, continue to do so until stickiness is gone. Do not add too much flour, this will dry out the dough and will cause it to crack before you get a chance to bake it.
Mold the dough into figures or objects. Connect pieces by wetting both ends with water and pressing firmly.
or
Roll out the dough to about ¼” thick with a rolling pin that has been dusted with flour.
Use cookie cutters to cut out as many trees and stars as you want.
Use a toothpick to make a hole toward the top of the shape. Poke the toothpick into the shape, then holding toothpick straight up and down, make a circular motion as if you were stirring something. Keep circling until the hole is the size you want.
Place all shapes onto an ungreased cookie sheet and place into the preheated oven.
Bake for 2 hours.
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely.
Paint the ornaments.
Use the handle end of the paint brush to dot on ornaments by dipping into paint then dotting onto ornament.
When paint is dry, you can use glitter glue to put a sparkling cover coat on your ornaments.
When dry, thread ribbon through hole and tie in a knot in the back.
Great pics, Bea! Looked like so much fun!!!
It always looks like you have such fun!
