As a result, we're a lot sparser on holiday decorations at the Wheeler household this season. Fortunately, we still have the essentials--a tiny Christmas tree and our Nativity. The nativity was a gift from Jason several years ago, and I love it. I look forward to setting it up all year long.
Our shortage of decorations has actually turned into a fun blessing as we've looked for new ways to add some homespun holiday cheer to our home. Today we decorated gingerbread mittens to hang on the staircase.
Sticky fingers!
It's impossible to resist tasting when you're four.
A good friend joins in the frosting feast.
So proud.
Merry Christmas!

Hey ... the mittens look "merry" and the smiles are "bright" ... Most of the time "less is more" when it comes to Christmas decorations. One nativity is enough ... and yours is very special. I bet Joseph wasn't "encouraged" by Mary to hang Christmas lights and wreaths on the Bethlehem stable. Home made family decorations like your gingerbread mittens are great memory-makers. That said, I'm glad you are coming to Omaha at the end of this month. We'll sit around a dead evergreen tree and eat candy out of our socks ... My, ... How did a simple, beautiful birthday celebration evolve into this?
Oh my! Those are adorable. I do believe I'm stealing the idea.
VERY cute decorations--you are such a good mom! Your girls are adorable.
I love it. I think the mittens are perfect. You are so creative and such a good mom to your little kids. They will probably remember this christmas for a long time.
Come decorate my house!!!
How fun! What a darling idea! I wonder how long they'll stay hanging?? I think you've started a tradition the girls won't let you stop! Happy Holidays!
Great job Kara! One of these days I'm going to do a post on our Christmas decorations, too. If you think you're sparse.... Of course, there's a huge difference when you don't have little children home and when your house is totally torn up!
