DIY Christmas Ornaments
I have been making Christmas ornaments for years. I used to make them with my kids when they were little, and now I enjoy doing DIY Christmas ornaments with T. We love to make special ornaments together and each year when we take the ornaments out of storage to decorate the tree, we talk about what year we made that ornament and what was going on. Making these DIY Christmas ornaments is a cherished family tradition.
