Hoping You Had a Merry Christmas

The Gardner family definitely did!

This was the “Gardner” year, and I’ve been looking forward to it for a long time! Two years ago, we spent time as a family at a cabin, and we had so much fun we decided to do it again this year. We definitely have a Gardner Christmas tradition in the making. . .

We’ve spent a week enjoying everybody’s company. Everyone has been here at one time or another, and it’s been delightful! We’ve visited, watched movies, and just watched the grandkids play together. . . talk about relaxing and getting away from it all! It’s been heaven!

Tomorrow we’re heading back to the real world. . . darn it! But I guess that’s part of life, right? We get to enjoy the holidays with loved ones, and then we have to jump back into real life.

I didn’t take a lot of pictures. . . was enjoying relaxing way too much! So instead of family pictures this year, I thought I’d share a few handmade tree ornaments, which we added to our Christmas décor.

The bird is an adaptation of a project I shared with you all earlier, and the tree topper and ball ornaments are new. I love them and thought they were perfect for our cabin Christmas tree!

I hope you had a wonderful Christmas too!

Shelli, your ornaments are beautiful! Did you modge podge the glass ornament? If you don't mind sharing, what products did you use for the large round one? I would love to make these for presents, they look like heirlooms to pass down through generations. Thank you for sharing them.
