There's a lot going on here this week, but today I'm home with a sick daughter so I thought I would do a little creating while we're vegging and watching movies on the couch. This photo is busy, eh? And so are my two kids, so it's just about right then. I got this idea from Galit Breen of These Little Waves who pinned it on Pinterest.
I actually made a few of these. The above is a bit more generalized. I also made separate photos for each kid that were more personalized which I'll put in small frames and then save in their baby books. I would love to do this every year as their likes, interests and personalities evolve.
A few more shots from the night we decorated our Christmas tree. For the last three years Maddi has worn the holiday headband when we decorate and I think it's adorable because before she came along I used to wear it. (Though now that I'm looking at that strip, I see she took it off, but it is in the top picture). I'll be looking for a holiday tie or something equally adorable for JMan to start wearing for decorating purposes.
Linking up with Galit and Alison for Memories Captured.
And since I did indeed create the top photo from a Pinterest pin, I am linking up with the Real Women of Pinterest also! I promise my next Pinterest post won't be so weak. :D
Mom to 2 kiddos, wife, me. Living, laughing, loving.

I think it's fabulous that she's carrying on the headband wearing tradition! Gorgeous kids you got there, Mandi!
Thank you for linking up!
That is an awesome idea! I can't wait to try it =). So glad you've joined me in becoming a Real Woman of Pinterest!!!
Your children are so cute. My oldest daughter and middle son are also 2 years apart. love the 5 and 3 ages.
I am totally addicted to this idea as well and will be doing it every year!
Glad to see you joining in on RWOP! I really love your photo idea, and someday, I'll learn how to use Photoshop so I can do something similar! The holiday decorating attire is also priceless.
Oh, I love how you captured them as siblings and wove it all within tradition! *swoon*
Weak?! This offering isn't weak at all! I think the photo and adjectives are wonderful. How cool that your daughter has started her own tradition with your holiday headband.
Hope you are all enjoying the season!
How adorable! I love the picture. Did you make it in Picnik? I just became a devoted member. I haven't even begun decorating or shopping. Is that bad? Oh well, the holiday will go on, that's for sure. Glad I stopped by! Been busy lately, and I've missed you!
Yes, traditions have to start somewhere. What a beautiful picture and how lovely her band is.
