Jackson’s turn…
Last weekend, our family decorated for Christmas. While Jackson was hanging ornaments on our tree, he got inspired to decorate his room.
I had been thinking about getting a small tree for his room — but Jackson decided he didn’t need a tree. He decided that the little reindeer we usually use in our living room would be a “tree” for his ornaments.
Over the years, Jackson has made quite a few ornaments. So, he had plenty of favorites to adorn his “tree” and his room.
I used leftover ribbon from our family tree to wrap around the railings on his bunkbed and Jackson decorated his chest of drawers. He even hung an extra stocking on his bunkbed, convinced that Santa will visit both of his stockings.
It was so much fun — I love my son’s excitement over Christmas.

Amazing way to get your child’s creative juices flowing. But tell me this, how the heck is Santa gonna get into his room and fill those stockings w/o waking him up?
The Reindeer really looks all decked out for Xmas with his new ornaments.. really creative !!

That’s just about the cutest thing ever!
Great job, Jackson! I love the idea of having the kids use their ornaments to decorate their rooms – we might have to do that next year.
He is so cute!! I love how into it he looks. I need to be better about letting my kids help more with the FUN stuff!!
What a busy little guy, and looking awfully intent to come to such a beautiful finished project. Keep encouraging him Mom he could be a Designer some day! He’s definitely got the nac.
Awesome. So cool that he took the initiative to do it himself!!
