homemade ornaments

in preschool, ledger and his class made some beautiful ornaments for the tree- we made sure to hang up all of them this year!
of course he put a face on his candy cane, he puts faces on everything!  but what impresses me is just how expressive the faces are!  look at that thing, its winking with a sideways smile- he's 4 years old!?!  amazing!
so cute!
