This year we had to be creative when decorating for Christmas since all of our stuff is in storage. We were able to get our little Christmas Tree but that was about it without digging through everything. So I thought it would be fun to let Kree and us make some decorations this year. We don't ever spend Christmas in our own place so we thought this temporary solution would work to make sure Kree had a Christmas Tree leading up to Christmas.
Here are Kree and Ragen stringing lights. Everyday Kree has to go turn on the lights now, he loves it!
Stringing fruit loops, although I think Kree ate more than he strung.
A little Christmas snack.
Making some handprint Santas. Kree didn't like putting paint on his hands but he loved to put the glue on for all the other pieces.
Handprint Santas, Mommy, Kree and Daddy Santas. Ragen wanted to make sure the Dew can was in the picture.
Candy Cane Reindeer
The end result, our Homemade Christmas Tree. We also made some colorful snowmen, a clay handprint of Kree... you can't see it really well in this picture but it actually turned out cute, and then of course our colorful star on top the tree. It was fun, although I think Ragen was getting tired of me making him do these crafts, but it was good family time together and they were all very simple.
I always love Christmas but I am especially excited this year, mainly for Kree. He's starting to understand a little more. He calls Santa... "Ho Ho Christmas," I love it! When you ask him what Santa is going to bring him he will always without fail say "Santa, Ho Ho Christmas... Thomas Choo Choo," it is so cute! I think he is going to love Christmas morning and I can't wait for it. Maybe I am excited and little emotional (I will admit) because it will be his last Christmas with just him. Sounds lame but it is sad, maybe it's the extra pregnancy hormones. Christmas is definitely my favorite time of the year.
Very Cute! Looks like you have found the magic of pinterest:)
