This year will be a very different Christmas for us. Our Christmas will be spent at home instead of our traditional trip to Ohio. We love going to Ohio each year to be with Nate's family. This year as Nate has just returned home after working in California for the past year, he thought it would be really nice to stay home for the holidays. We have not done Christmas at home for as long as I can remember...so needless to say we didn't have decorations or even lights, (a lot of our things are in storage in Ohio...another story) So this year I thought it would be fun and less expensive to decorate a little differently. Some of my 5th grade students were so sweet and brought me tons of pine cones this Autumn. We painted some of them and others we made sparkly with green and silver glitter. I had some extra gold balls from my class Christmas tree ( that was donated to me 2 years ago by a students Grandmother...Whom I adore) so I brought some of them home and we painted them with glue and put the silver and green glitter on them as well. I asked Nathan to buy some lace to put around the tree, he came home with ribbon instead but it worked out ok I think.
