The tree has officially been up since the weekend of Thanksgiving and I am loving it. I love the smell, but I love making memories with the kids most of all.
As tradition, we find either a tree farm or a local Home Depot/Lowe's to find a real tree. We prefer Fraser Firs..
It was blustery wind/rain out that evening. So let's just say we picked the first one...
Mommy - I cold - I not moving.
I have decided we need an extra set of hands. It's extremely hard to video tape/take regular pictures and keep the kids out of the way, all while telling Karsten which way to hold and turn the tree.
Our old lights officially died - so we opted for the round LED lights.
How do I get these things out?
I don't know buddy - the same way you get out anything - destroy it.
The boys were fascinated with the lights and getting them out of the packing.
My most helpful "unhelper"
I have this picture memorized. I just think it's precious.
We now put the star on TWICE
Next year we will be putting it on three times.
I wish I had better pictures but I was video taping at the same time. We also had a young one (I won't mention any names) literally chucking every ornament or "ball" out of the boxes. I just could not keep up!!
I think next year we are going to have a "memory tree" that all the kids can decorate with their own ornaments and hand-made items and then I can have my pretty tree.
