Man Is It Cold Outside

We live in the desert in Southern California.  And it usually doesn't get really cold till January/February.  This week has been super cold.  Well super cold for us.  No higher than 54.  And so, so, so windy.  Now for us.  That's cold.  I mean, we only get snow for maybe half a day a year.

So last night was our 4-H arts and crafts meeting.  And trying to find a craft for Christmas that isn't just Christmas, but still holiday, and kid friendly for all ages, is hard.  But I found it.

We made wooden snowman ornaments.  I scoured pinterest and found the perfect way to use our firewood pile since we can't use our fireplace.  So I found this tutorial that takes sliced wood pieces and makes snowmen.

The kids had fun.  And I'm thinking that maybe they can make a bunch more to sell as a fundraiser.  I'm definitely keeping this in our fun to do file.

I think they turned out cute.  And shows every one's personalities.
