Christmas Spirit

This weekend has been a great one so far. We're settling in and getting ready for Christmas. We've had our tree up for a few weeks now, but my mother inlaw surprised Payton with her very own Pink christmas tree. So Payton and I sat down and put the ornaments together and put them on the tree. To see the joy in her face makes me so happy. She feels so special from the smallest things and it's amazing to have an almost 5 year old remember what really matters. You dont have to spend tons of money, or buy extravagant things to bring a smile to someones face.

We also sat down last night and made Christmas cards for some very special people. We used Payton's and Noah's handprints for the santa beards. Googly eyes for the eyes lol, and felt stickers for the cheeks. We also used scrapbook paper and ribbon for the hats. Payton Noah and I had so much fun just hanging out and making a few cards. Just really enjoyed spending the time with them. There's a few more "crafty" things I want to try with them, and make a few treats that are "Christmas" themed, and tasty too! I'll keep it updated and post some pictures of the crafts we try. What's your favorite craft to make during the holidays?
