Ornament Making and Tree Decorating

We decided to make salt dough ornaments this year.  

Miles HAD.A.BLAST!

For the last 9 years we have used this small artificial tree. 

I loved this tree, it is such a cute shape and holds all the memories from every single one of our Christmas's past.

So I decided that it would be the perfect little tree for the kids to decorate.  I think this is going to be a new tradition.  Miles thought it was so fun decorating the little tree and absolutely loves the idea of having his own tree.

Gabe grew up having live trees and since we were in the market for a more grown-up tree he got very excited to pick out a live tree once again.

So, off we went to find the perfect tree. 

Yay for Christmas!
