Jesus Birthday Cake
On Christmas Day we made a birthday cake for Jesus. It wasn't anything fancy, but the boys sure enjoyed it and I was glad that we found a way to teach them about the reason that we celebrate Christmas.

Fun with Make It Yourself Play Dough
Jerad found a website that had directions on how to make play dough out of flour, water, salt, oil, and cream of tartar. We used all the colors of food coloring and Wyatt liked Yellow the best. So, having all of that in our pantry we decided to give it a try. It turned out great. It is literally just like the stuff you buy in the store. It was really easy and only took about 10 minutes. Wyatt watched me make it and then I let both of the boys play with it. Seth just kept trying to eat it, but since it was made out of basic food ingredients I wasn't worried about that. Wyatt liked it and made a couple of "Larry Boys." I think they'll will like it a lot more when they are a little older and I also think it will be a good way to teach some math skills using the measuring of the ingredients when they are much older. The best part was Wyatt yelling "I love Play Dough" while I was making it (I don't think he's ever played with it before) and then when I gave it to him he said, "Thanks Mom." It was super sweet.
