Advent Calendar Idea #14



Well some people have their traditions of making gingerbread houses every Christmas but us Strommers' like to be nontraditional and shake it up a little bit!! So we made pomanders and I think we'll keep this a yearly tradition for us..that is if the kid's fingers hold up to it!! I had read somewhere that putting masking tape on your thumb would help keep your finger "intact" and a resemblance of it's old self...so the first picture is Kyle's need for tape on his finger for his one clove in his lemon!! ;)

Pomanders are gret and smell so sweet. Just remember to have the kids poke a hole with a toothpick first and then it doesn't hurt the thumb! love, Mom

Ruth, I think that is the coolest idea yet! So cool I think we will adopt it next year (with your permission, of course.) =)
