Homemade Christmas gifts...

This year I am aiming to give the important people in my life useful gifts rather than the latest trendy item. My older son and I have designed two different styles of birdhouses that we will be making for everyone near and dear to us. All of the people in our family love nature and the outdoors. Not all of them own birdhouses but they definitely will enjoy them. We are making unique designs and my children will help paint and assemble them. I think this is a great way for us to bond over a project and to impress upon my children the fact that not all presents need to come from a store to be appreciated. Thus far we have 14 houses cut out and ready for assembly this weekend.
