Mistletoes

Merry Christmas Eve! 

Can you contain the joy and anticipation of tomorrow? Are you eagerly awaiting the day we celebrate the birth of our Savior? Last night we went to look at Christmas lights as a family dressed in our PJs with hot chocolate in hand. Shane sang "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas" the entire time only pausing to put a few verses of " Away in a Manger" in. Keith stared in wonder and amazement at the twinkling colorful lights. Today we are writing birthday cards to Jesus in place of a letter to Santa and I am looking forward to seeing what Shane comes up with. He has a lot to say these days and often it makes me laugh. I just love this time of year!

This weekend I wanted to make on personal gift for my parents so that they had a little keepsake of how small and sweet their grandsons were this year. I have been seeing people post the cute little footprint crafts making mistletoe and thought it would be a great idea to make and frame for my parents. It took 10 minutes and turned out great. If you need another card of handmade gift from you kids this one is so adorable and will give lasting memories.
