This weekend we set up most of our Christmas stuff. We had to go to Target and get a new tree because after getting last year's tree out of my moms basement and home, we realized that the bottom part was missing. But we got some new lights and took out all of the xmas decorations we have and put them up. [including Trev's cheesy nutcracker collection.. but this year, I have a cute nutcracker as well. Pic soon] So our house pretty much looks the same, except instead of all of our Star Wars toys everywhere, they were replaced with Christmas Star Wars toys. Nerd family much?
Last year for Christmas, Aiden got an origami calendar which had one origami paper for every day, with instructions on the back on how to fold it. He did 3 or 4 every weekend this year, and this weekend, we poked a tiny hole in each one and put them all on a fishing wire and strung them around the tree. There were around 180 pieces of origami, which includes cute little ones he made up himself. He's getting so good at them! I think he's going to be getting more origami stuff this year so I can't wait to add to our collection! We might have to get a bigger tree next year to hold them all.
I still need to do loads of Christmas shopping. I've only bought presents for Trev, Aiden and 2 of my 3 sisters. I hope I can get it all done in the next week, maybe sooner if I'm getting stuff online.
For those of you interested [and I know you are] in getting me a Christmas present, I have an Amazon wishlist here. <3
I will update pictures of my nutcracker and the origami tree when I get home from work today [hopefully, if I have time. If not, than sometime soon]
Happy Christmas FF's!
