Holiday Decorations!

 So we have been making homemade Christmas decorations this year!  I brought some ornaments with us from Michigan, but Ben gets into everything and I didn't want them broken so we decided we would just make our own this year!  So we have been busy making something everyday!  Today we made a cookie plate for Santa.  Kenzie drew and colored the Santa!  She did a great job!

 Our Elfs we made!

 Kenzie's Santa, tree & reindeer!

 Hannah's Santa, tree & reindeer

 Popsicle stick trees

 Felt trees

 Hannah's trees

I have also made Santa's out of the kids hand prints!  These turned out super cute!

More to come!!

I am really liking making our own decorations!  Our Charlie Brown Christmas tree is turning out really cute!!
