DIY Christmas Ornaments

December 8, 2017 By Christina Gammon Leave a Comment

Some of my favorite Christmas memories are of decorating the tree with my family. When my boys were young and had a Lego train, they took each ornament for a ride around the tree before finding its spot to be hung.  That year we were certain our tree was wearing a dress as the lower boughs were heavy with ornaments and swooped towards the floor.  Although the boys are older now, I still get a thrill every year pulling out the ornaments and placing each one on the tree.
