This will be Jude's second Christmas (he was born just after the holiday in 2009). Last year we made him an ornament, but I didn't get a chance to share it. The base is just a little wooden heart from the craft store, threaded with holly ribbon. On one side I wrote "Jude's First Christmas" in silver pen...
On the other side, we made a glitter hand print by painting his little mit with Elmer's glue, stamping it on the heart, and sprinkling the print with lots of silver glitter...
It's already crazy to see how much his hand has grown. I can only imagine how fun it will be to bring it out when he is all grown up. This year I plan to make a time capsule ornament like this one from Say Yes To Hoboken. And if we get extra time (ha!) I hope Jude and I can make these cinnamon ornaments from Martha Stewart.
Happy Tree Trimming!
