This Christmas season, I decided to pull out the arts and crafts and make us some holiday cheer- with the kids of coarse!
Never wanting my kids to associate happiness with material things, I thought what better way to show meme, boppa, grandma and grandpa shuey how much we love them, then to MAKE the gifts we want to exchange.
I'm crafty- enough, and Lucy loves to make a mess. So, bring on the glitter, creativity, and love!
Lucy and I have spent a few hours everyday talking about, planning, and creating our projects. Picture this- we are like little elves in our Christmas workshop (my kitchen).
We have completed a few. I would share pictures, but that would defeat the purpose of the Christmas surprise. And since the only people who really follow and read this blog are my parents and family- hi mom and dad! That would really ruin the surprise. Bedsides, I can't wait to see the look on my Lucy's face when she proudly gives the gift of love on Christmas day. After all, isn't that the real meaning of Christmas? Love, family, happiness, and joy. These are the feelings I have when I look at the beauty in my kid's spirit. They make me excited for the holidays and to make handcrafted/homemade gifts.
I better get going, I think Lucy is gluing sequins onto her baby brother.
Merry Christmas!
They say a picture is worth a thousand words. This picture, says it all.
