Our Halloween Craft



I have to say I am not very good at decorating for the Holidays. We have a friend in our home ward, who for every holiday would absolutely transform her home. I don't think I have the passion/patience to go all out like that, so here is my small attempt for some Halloween spirit! Thais and I drove around Marana and found the creepiest looking branches we could find and then put our Halloween Tree together. I am learning it doesn't matter what you do, kids are just happy spending time with you and it's fun to make the holiday's special.

I thought it was an adorable idea... I may steal it actually since I'm sure my boys would love gathering creepy branches. Hey, they say imitation is the highest form of flattery. :-)

I've seen these halloween trees and think they are really cute! You guys did a great job picking out some spooky branches. I didn't think trees grew there:) J/K. Rylynn is really sad because I am not unpacking the halloween decorations this year. Kids love that stuff.

How cute!! I love it. I am so lame when it comes to decorating for the holidays. My poor kids.

That is such a neat idea! I feel the same way, my in laws decorate for every holiday and I have no idea how they have the patience to constantly be changing things, I do a little more decorating for Christmas but that's about it.
How did the marathon go or has it not happened yet?
