On The Seventeenth Day Of Advent We Made An Ornament

Meadow isn't quite at the crafting-on-her-own stage yet. I couldn't decide what kind of ornament to make with her this year when I stumbled upon one similar to hers last year.

This year I made a salt dough and used her foot for an impression.

Once it dries I will paint it to look like a reindeer.

I suggested this year we drive on Thanksgiving day instead of leaving the night before. First thing when we arrived, G.G. was already giving Meadow gifts. My mom is always spoiling her. Then we were off to Brittany and Jeff's for Thanksgiving fun. Theo got the longest piece of cheese. Marina showing us her island on Animal Crossing.
