Remember when you made the Christmas countdown chains in elementary school? Well Brennen wanted to do something creative with construction paper. This is about how creative i get.
The chain goes down almost to the floor, but it's about halfway gone now.
My mom gave us this nativity for Christmas last year, and I almost forgot I had it!
This year's christmas tree is a little eccentric. We weren't able to get a real tree so we bought this 6.5 ft pre-lit one at walmart for 40 bucks.
Our ornament colors are red and blue. Brennen picked out the colors, but i put my foot down and said "Ok. if you pick the colors, they have to at least be sparkly."
This is Brennen's favorite ornament. He got it in a happy meal from McDonalds.
Yep. This is a pickle ornament.
And this is me. When i was 7
Brennen made this star out of construction paper and cotton balls. He is so crafty!
So Brennen and I did try to get a tree from the wilderness this year, but the snow was too crunchy and deep to get through. But on our way back home we found this:
I'm gad that I was able to get my camera to take a decent picture of it because it was stunning! Idaho may not have a lot to offer, but we have some of the best sunsets. I used to look for sunsets every night in high school. To me they were a symbol of Heavenly Father's love. I love that he gives us such beautiful things.
