Fun Photoes


Here is something that will keep you and your family intertained during Christmas time! Get out your camera and turn the flash off. Make sure where ever you are that it's completely dark, with only a few Christmas lights that are lit. Then hold the camera up to the lights and move your camera up and down, sideways or any way you want really fast at the same time you take the picture. You should get a picture like this (above)!

Homemade Brownies

These are the easiest, quickest homemade brownies you could ever make!
Ingredients:
1/2 cup butter
1 cup sugar
6 tbs. coco
2 eggs
2/3 cup self rising flour
How to make it:
Put butter in a medium pan. Bring to a boil at medium high. When butter is boiling, stir in the sugar and coco. Turn the stove off and stir in the eggs and flour. Stir in well until you have  gooey, dark liquid type stuff. Pour into a greased 8x8 pan. Put in oven at 350 degrees for 23-25 minuets. You can also make Brownie muffins using the same recipe, but instead of using a pan, use a muffin pan that will make 12 Brownie muffins.

Lottie Moon's Cookies

Do you know who Lottie Moon is? Lottie Moon was a missionary to China. While she was in China, she hosted small tea parties for girls. She made special, soft sugar cookies for them at her tea parties. Here is the recipe she used to make her cookies:
Ingredients:
1 1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of sour milk*
1 egg + 1 egg white, beaten
1/2 cup butter
4 cups of flour
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
*Take 2 teaspoons of vinegar, then add milk to make 1/2 cup.
How to make it:
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Cream butter and sugar, then add milk and eggs. Stir in flour to make a gooey dough. Lay dough on floured surface. Cut cookies 1/2 inch thin in circles or other shapes. Bake for 8-10 minuets or until light brown on top.

Snow Flake Window Clingers

Here is a great Christmas decoration that you and your family will enjoy making! 


What you Need:
1. A sheet of Wax paper
2. Snow Flake coloring sheet (It's best if you get a coloring sheet with many small, different Snowflakes on it)
3. Fabric Glitter Glue



How to make it:
1. Take your coloring sheet and put it under your Wax paper.
2. Take the fabric glue and trace the snowflakes with it.
3. Remove the coloring sheet out from under the wax paper carefully.
4. Let the snowflakes on the wax paper dry over night or about 4-5 hours in the day. When Snowflakes are completely dry, carefully peel them off the wax paper and stick them to your window (Make sure your window is clean first).



Here are some snow flakes you can trace with the fabric glitter glue. I found this from the Free Coloring Page Site on Google. This is the website, in case you wanted different coloring pages to trace: http://freecoloringpagesite.com.
