My Kind of Christmas Tree

After finding so many fun Christmas ideas on Pinterest the last few weeks, I decided to try my hand (no pun intended) at one of them.

I bring you, the handprint Christmas tree that I am just giddy about......

First you grab a stinkin'-cute 2 year old who loves to have his hand painted.....

And start pressing that hand down - the messier the better - I love nothing more than those cubby fingers!!

Get the older two involved. We went by hand size to shape the tree.

And Brody has the biggest hands - he formed the base.

Once it dried fully, we used our fingers to "decorate" the tree.

Matt & I even added our fingerprints down on the bottom.

I hid the kids names by writing them in very discreetly under their hands.  And now I have a keepsake that was incredibly easy to make and even a little fun.  Maybe I can do this crafty stuff after all..... nah, let's not push it.
