I wish the rest of my family was artistic. If/when I have kids, I hope my family will be so creative. I pretty much agree with estrojenn. You have some seriously good ideas.

They had a lot of fun designing the tree itself and then creating paper ornaments for it. My older even made a tiny angel for the top.
