Merry Christmas!

It is that time of year! I love Christmas...the lights, the feel, seeing family, everything. Well, everything except for all the crazy shoppers and the fact that they start Christmas on Halloween. But, anyway, I just wanted to wish everyone a Merry Christmas! It is odd to think that next Christmas I might have a child to explore the joys of Christmas with. But, for this year, I enjoyed it with my four-legged kids. We made salt-dough Christmas ornaments this weekend!

Many people get an ornament each year that signifies something special from that time. So, my ornament, a heart made out of my fingerprints, signifies the fact that I was just fingerprinted for the sake of offering love and a safe home to a child in the new year. (Please ignore the fact that it looks pink - it really is red. Plus, the paint was still wet. All the ornaments actually look a lot better now that they have dried!)

Charlie was the best at doing his print, but I kind of messed it up after that. Here's Charlie's:

And, even though Freckles wasn't a big fan of this project, his turned out awesome! Go Freckles!

Hope you and your family, whether 2 legged or 4, have a very

Merry Christmas!
