Decorations

Our Candy Cane Wreath

We love Christmas in our house especially Christmas decorations. So I've been doing my best with what we have but when Wyatt really wanted a wreath I was getting nervous on how to make that happen without spending any money. So I thought about it for a couple of days, with Wyatt reminding about how we don't have a wreath and how we need a wreath for Christmastime, and came up with an idea while doing the kids laundry. I used a coat hanger, the rim of the kids laundry bags (which are big Target cloth bags we received Christmas gifts in years ago)and scraps of cream fabric from an old quilt project. Wyatt and Kailyn loved it! (which I was glad about because it's not the typical green garland and it looks like crap) But they love it and call it their Candy Cane wreath and have to point it out every time we come and go from the house, which definitely makes it worth hanging!

Love the red PJ's on the wall. Also, isn't a stocking missing? Who has been bad this year?

I also love the snowflakes, we did that last year, this year we have real snowflakes about 2 1/2 feet of them. Kids are working on your snow family. Ash, hope you are feeling great and can't wait to see this little guy, P.S. does he have a name yet?
