Christmas ornaments












































Usually were in another state before Christmas and haven't been able to enjoy a family tradition that Roberts aunt started with her nieces and nephews when Robert was young- making Christmas ornaments at her house! She makes custom hand painted tiles as a profession and wanted to pass on a little of her love for art to the rest of the family. We had so much fun! She had EVERYTHING we could have possibly wanted to use, paints (of course) in every color, three different glitters, glue, fake snow, pretty ribbon to hang them with, as well as four different types of ornaments. Glass ones in different shapes, wood cars and tractors (which were Isaias favorite ones), ceramic, and wood ones with a pattern on them. And to make sure that all the pretty things got home safely she had bags set up with tissue paper in them and candy canes inside for a treat after they were finished! Needless to say it was a fun and memory filled day and the boys enjoyed hanging out with there cousins!
