Homemade Christmas Gifts

Hi!

Along with home-made presents for the kids, we also do home-made for others.  For the past few years, the kids have given home-made jam to their teachers and bus driver.  However, this is made by my MIL!  She makes great jams.

The kids and I have made wreaths


 and wooden trees,


Along with these, I've made a couple things in the kitchen to go with them-

Crockpot Granola 

and Pecan Praline Sauce.

I've also made a

Coconut Sugar Scrub.

This year we made wooden snowmen from Birch branches that got cut last winter when our power went out.  Here's one that C made.

They turned out to be pretty delicate.  This one is already missing an arm!

N made a crazy one.

Also missing its arms!  We gave the "nicer" ones to my in-laws and N didn't feel like making another one for us to keep!

C also got in on the home-made band wagon and did her first cross stitch!  I glued it on a birch round to make an ornament.

We mailed it down to my dad and step-mom with a picture calendar that we do for the grandparents. I think that kinda counts as home-made too!
