Christmas Ornaments

Do you have traditions in your family that you do at this time of year?

Ever since our daughter was a year old, we started making Christmas ornaments for family members. They were the greatest gifts we could offer since we were on a tight budget (and still am). We absolutely love creating these once in a lifetime gifts/moments with our kids. Now that we have both Reba and Weston, they love getting paint all over, but I have learned not to care about the mess because that is what makes our memories and I can take care of that mess after they are sound asleep.

We continue to make these amazing gifts, sharing them with all of our special family and friends. It became a lot more fun when Weston arrived last year and we were able to place his little foot on one side and Reba's hand print on the other.

So this year we made them again, but this time we used a hand print from each. Weston has just grown so much and he is so tall. His hand print and her's are virtually the same size!

This is our yearly tradition. Not only does it make memories for us as we create them but they are also keepsakes for all those who receive them as gifts.

I would love to hear about your traditions in your family.
