December 01st!

I cannot wait for December 01st to be here. Every year, my boys get one or two new Christmas tree ornaments from us. Some we make, some we buy. We usually get them something that reflect either a toy or a passion they had during the year. 

Last year, we got them a mater and Lightning McQueen ornaments. They were crazy about Cars (still are). We were going to turn their old Cars into ornaments but they weren't quite ready to let them go. So we ended up buying them.

This year, I am "making", for lack of a better word , 2 Baymax ornaments for them, since they are infatuated with this character. I really don't think make is quite appropriate here (see pic).

Found these white balls at the thrift store for 10 cents each.
All I did is use a sharpie to "make" Baymax face.

I also got them some hallmark ornaments (still in the box) at the thrift store. Another great find I tell you. Love thrift stores (especially the good ones). I thought they were cute and it has meaning for us since the boys have been learning to give their toys willingly to a great cause.

 

My goal in doing this, is to have a good collection of ornaments with meaning for our kids to take with them once they have a family of their own. It will be a great reminder for us, every time we take them out, to reminisce about those phases in our children's lives, where a certain toy brought lot of happiness to them than another. Making memories last!

Every ornaments they get are marked with their names and the date they got them.
