O' Christmas Tree, O' Christmas Tree

By the time I was done Friday finishing up my christmas shopping, taking the boys to see santa, getting our xmas card pics developed AND grocery shopping, I was way too exhausted to even think about getting a christmas tree. Instead, after visiting with Mrs. Claus on Saturday, we picked it up on our way home. We prefer having a real christmas tree in our home, but since we don't have a lot of space in our living room AND since we had to not only buy the tree but also the stand and lights, we figured it would be best to just by a small fake tree. Pete picked up some scented pinecones to decorate in the tree and help give it a nice "smell". And honestly, we love it! The boys helped us decorate. I decided to only put a few select ornaments on the tree (ones that were really special to us). Earlier in the week the boys broke our "angel" for the top of the tree (it was a lighted star). I didn't want to go out and by another one, so I came up with a great idea. The day before, Kristjan had made an "angel" in preschool as one of their art projects. So i just taped it to the top of our tree. It turned out great!
