Christmas Decorations

We decided a while ago that we wouldn't buy much as far as decorations go this year. Instead, we would just get a couple little things, make the rest, then buy the bigger things for next year after Christmas this year when it was all on clearance. So here's what we ended up with.

First, our 2 foot pre-lit Christmas tree that we got at Wal-mart for $8. Decorated with tinsel stuff that we got for $1, and homemade snowflakes and stars. We bought it down in Arizona when we were there for Thanksgiving. Somewhere between there and here the stand broke. So I made one out of K-Nex. My brother, Preston, would be so proud :)

Second, our window decorations. Lights that we got for $2 and homemade snowflakes once again. If you are wondering what the lights are being held up with, it's yellow duct tape. If you know me, this doesn't surprise you.

Third, a paper chain to brighten up the room :)

And last but not least, the Christmas tree calendar that my Grandma Hall makes for all of the grandkids once they are married.

I think that everything looked great :) And it was fun making everything together.
