Welcome! New to ABC and 123? Please check out our FAQ in the sidebar.
Today at lunch I asked the kids what they were looking forward to giving this Christmas. It took them a minute to process the question before they began throwing out ideas of things they could give. We then spent some time making ornaments with plaster molds and paint. Fun! We have several other ideas up our sleeves, but I've hesitated to post pictures in fear that our receiving friends and family members will get a sneak peek of what's under the tree. Oh the blogger's dilemma!
