Dear FAMILY Friend,

The season of scarves, comfy sweaters and pumpkin flavored everything has finally arrived! Fresh autumn air has begun to swirl around us as we say goodbye to summer and hello to new beginnings. Fall is one of the most beautiful times of the year with all of the changing colors surrounding us- especially in the DMV! If you're looking for a fun way to spend the afternoon with your kids, take a look at this article. This "Stained Glass Leaves" craft can be about a lot more than the beautiful creation you and your kids are sure to make!
