Making bread braids

What a fun afternoon we had today. This morning I picked Mallory & Clara up to come spend the day, as usual, and then Addie dropped Mason off to hang out while she went and took June to a dr’s appointment. When she came back by to pick Mase up, she took Clara home with her, too, so Mallory was the only one here with us for most of the day. I can’t remember the last time that happened – what a good time we had. We ate lunch & then laid down to rest while we watched Dolly Parton’s Coat of Many Colors I had recorded. After we got up she finished her string holder like the ones June and Mason had made the day before, had chocolate sundaes for snack, she helped me wrap presents, and then we made some biscuit braids for supper. Here she is brushing on the butter after we made the braids.

Making string holders :-)

In keeping with our tradition of taking on big, messy projects when the kids are here over Christmas break, yesterday June, Mason, and I made string holders. Here is June putting the first coat of paint on her jar.
