Homemade Ornaments With The Kids On A Rainy Day!

Today really is a good day because it's RAINING!  Yes I'm a little too excited about the rain today but I can't help it because we hardly get enough rain where I'm at.

Anyhoo we brought home our first REAL tree in over a decade yesterday and have been working on decorating it ever since.  The story behind our tree is while on our way to church we saw a big sign that read, "ANY SIZE CHRISTMAS TREE FOR $25", so we didn't waste much time going back there to check out what they would have.  Of course once we got in there we soon realized that the sign wasn't exactly truthful, because the trees were in fact priced differently, but we were able to find a tree that we liked in our $25 area:-)  Once we got home and got our tree situated we weren't expecting for our tree to be thick in the least bit but once we opend the tree we realized that we had won the jackpot!  The tree is beautful, tall and rather thick which means that we have to get more ornaments that what we currently have.  That's when the title of this blog comes in.

Shopping last night for several different tree decorations was a lot of fun but due to the weather today that kind had me stuck at home to wait out the rain, but I didn't want to waste such a great afternoon and time with my kids so I decided to make homemade ornaments with the kids and the project actually turned out to be a success.  We didn't do the typical Christmas themed ornaments but we just desinged, colored and cut whatever we wanted and it turned out to be a lot of fun:-)  Between the LaLa Loopsy cut outs, hearts and circular hand made cutouts that we made our tree is looking better and better by the minute:-)  And I'm looking forward to seeing what my mom and husband will add on to the tree to make it complete!

Pictures of some of our projects will be up soon but I just wanted to write to you guys to encourage you to try to do a fun small project with your family this year, because it will help bring ya'll even closer this holiday season.  Be Blessed!!
