Advent 2015: Peppermint Ornaments and Cloved Oranges

For one day the kids had two options for Advent activities.  One of the options was to build an ornament out of LEGO.
I'm not sure how we would go about hanging this on the tree but they enjoyed making it.
Jazz hands!
Playing with cars (inside the jars).
The other activity that day was making peppermint ornaments.
Watching them melt.
All melted.
Full disclosure: I forgot to immediately make a hole for threading string to hang them. By the time I remembered, the peppermint had cooled enough to be too hard. Oops! These ended up being yummy, Christmas-shaped snacks instead.
We also cloved oranges again this year.
The kids seem to enjoy this. Addilyn likes being artistic and the boys enjoy playing with nails. Whatever floats your boat, I guess.
Poke!
One of the finished products. Ta-da!
