I wanted my children to have happy memories of making ornaments and decorating the tree as a family. I realized this year that I have accomplished that goal! There were a couple of hectic years where we did not make ornaments until after Christmas, but we made them as a family every year. This year, I am mailing the items for Bethany to make hers.
When it comes time to decorate the tree, I lay the ornaments out, like you see in the pictures, so they can pick them up and decorate the tree. I love hearing them talk about when we made them.
