Deck the Halls

I finally mananged to take a few photos of our own Christmas decorations to share with you guys. Aidan has really enjoyed helping me.

We started with his room. I especially like these little wooden ornaments.


Every year we've added a few special pieces like this star.



The Christmas Pyramid and Advent Calendar belonged to my grandmother and I count them among my most treasured possessions.


I had quite a number of crafts I wanted to make, but only managed these snow globes. Aidan loves it. It's a really fun and easy thing to make. For anyone interested, I kind of followed this tutorial.


And last, but not least, our own Christmas tree.


The only thing missing now, are the gifts, and I really hope I will finish all of my hand-knits in time.
