Nativity Puzzle

Growing up we had a wood nativity puzzle and I adored it. When I found one at the thrift store I was in heaven!

Then I discovered it was a the thrift store because a piece was missing :( Thankfully my MIL is good with wood and made a replacement for me and then painted the entire set. Cannot even begin to tell you how much I love it!

If you have a woodworker in the family start begging them to make this for you :) Or I found you can still buy this set. I just did a google search for "wood nativity puzzle"

I love it in the natural wood but having it painted by someone we love makes it all the more special

Welcome back to Tasty Tuesday!

Every Tuesday I'll be posting recipes and meal ideas for picky eaters. Along with whether or not it was a success at our house. I'm hoping for mostly successes :)

With the holidays in full swing we've gotten off track a bit and Anne is back to living on PB & J. It happens :) For our cooking adventure this week we made sugar cookies! She's almost 3 and had an absolute blast helping with these. If you haven't made up a batch yet this year it's not too late!

We may have even busted out the matching aprons :)
