Birdies

Each year I let the kids pick out an ornament that they like and we add it to our eclectic collection. Getting out the ornaments after Thanksgiving is so fun because each one has a memory or came from someone we love.

In an effort to bring more meaning to some of the traditions we have as a family, I thought this year we would make our ornaments.

So I cut some birds out of scrap wood I had in the garage and we busted out the scrapbook paper, bird magazines and mod podge.




In my mind this seemed like an extremely simple project. It turned out to be time consuming and messy. The kids muscled through and finished theirs up. Laney bailed and opted for eating grapes on the floor.

Can you blame her?
