Mama Megan admits that in past years with small children her family was confined to using paper-made ornaments, so these bright and beautiful newbies were warmly welcomed!

Either way, you're sure to create some snazzy decorations that will look fabulous on your tree, and come away from the holidays with some new family holiday keepsakes.
