Silhouettes on the tree

Every year I am going to try to make (or have him make, when he's older) a new Elliott ornament for the tree. Last year we made Santa out if a clay hand print. This year it was a felt silhouette. I like the way it turned out! We made one for my parents and one for Chris' parents as well! Thanks to dear Ocky, for the three embroidery rings!

Home project number 1

Our home project for the week was to clean house and put up the Christmas decorations. I decided to pair down the decor this year, as we are trying to purge non necessities in preparation for selling our house come Spring.
The best part of putting up the tree this year was Elliott's reaction upon seeing it for the first time. We turned on the tree lights and E exclaimed, "Wow! Wow! Woooooow!"
