Tree Time

We went and got our tree this week!  We've been counting the days for weeks=)  We decided to try something different this year.  Instead of waiting until AFTER dinner when the kids are starting to get cranky and the parents are beginning to get impatient and bed time is long gone...(you can just imagine what our past experiences have been like)...we decided to go AFTER breakfast when the kids are fresh and "happy hearts" are abounding!

So, we went and picked out the perfect tree
The kids had a GREAT time decorating it (well, at least the bottom 3 branches=)


And maybe the kids still didn't have the best of attitudes, but we DID have a fun day!

Mission accomplished=)

I love your tree. I bet it smells great too! How fun and crazy to pick out and decorate the tree together. Enjoy while they are young and still want to "help" even if it means all the ornaments on the bottom of the tree. Garren is almost out of the tree decorating stage but helped this year to make Mom happy. Oh as the years go by.....

Your tree looks beautiful, and I like where you put it in your living room!! Good idea to start early in the day!!

My son had two very hard days this week. I think the mean bug bit him. Putting up the tree was a bit of challenge because he was not on his best behavior, but he finally came around.
