christmas star

star, a photo by wildflowerdesigns on Flickr.

each year our family makes a new star to top our tree.
this year ryan thought it would be fun to make it out of legos.
when a family member told a part of the christmas story, they got to add a couple of lego pieces to the star.
we came up with quite the exciting star.
thank you star wars lego kits!!

----------->
all of the 1st grade kids were asked to make a 'tradition' wreath.
parker's wreath is covered in stars; glitter, pipe cleaner, wood, foam, everything.
we used stars because every year our family makes a new star to top our tree.
it is one of the few traditions we have at this point in life.
the orange and red star in the center of the wreath now rests atop our christmas tree.
