Does your family like to make Christmas tree ornaments each year? If so, we’ve got ideas for you! Check out these 8 awesome ornaments we found on Pinterest. Perhaps you’ll find the perfect project to help your kids celebrate Jesus’ birthday.
Pause for a moment and envision the ornaments on your family’s Christmas tree. Do you have a favorite? Which one makes you smile? Which ornament do you sneakily move to the back of the tree for a little less visibility? (You know you have one!)
