Since we have had Kate we have celebrated (which technically means we lived there) Christmas in our hometown with our parents 3 of the six years. Why? Because for us that is the best time to make huge life decisions. So we were usually in transit to move or trying to figure out our next move.
Anyway this year I could focus a little more on our life at Christmas and what that will look like. Pinterest has really helped inspire me, here are some ideas I actually put into action believe it or not.
A felt tree for the kids with the hope that they would keep their hands off mine. Has it worked? Eh, not really, but whatever. Pin found here.
A fuzzy jar. My attempt at trying to get the kids more into the spirit of giving/sharing/helping/being nice at Christmastime. Our goal is to have the tree filled by Christmas. The excitement has died down but whenever I say "Thanks for doing that, go put a fuzzy in the jar," Kate jumps at the chance. The red bag was assembled to hold the fuzzys because the bag they came in was a mess. It was freestyled by me, so don't look too close. Pin found here.
And here is a Pin I'd like to do here, but I can't make up my mind about fabric and details.
And another one here but I'm waiting on the stockings to be done, to use the scraps. So you know where that's headed.
Will the above two happen? Doubtful, but there is always next Christmas and a whole nother list of Pinterest crafts.
