the tree went up on thanksgiving day...



in the tradition of my mother.

my mom always made ornaments with us when we were kids, good memories. so this year i bought some shrinky dink paper and made some star wars ornaments with the kids. traced from coloring book pages:



they really got into putting up our fake tree, so much easier too with them helping. i did leave off the glass balls, because i didn't want to bother with cleaning up broken glass this year. they are so into star wars... look what else we got:



and a few weeks ago i made these stocking for them out of old tshirts. showing off. it worked too, i believe they were impressed with these shabby little stockings... and how cute is my hot pink old navy naughty&nice stocking?



while we're on christmas, there are so many kickass holiday songs out there. some of my favorites:


twisted christmas - twisted sister


the magic of christmas - joy electric


monster ballads christmas

i think these are all on itunes... at the very least download faster pussycat's version of silent night from monster ballads... priceless.
