We have always had two Christmas trees in our home. One in the living room and one in the family room. The one in the living room is "my" tree. I get to make it pretty. No one gets to help hang the ornament and so they are perfectly spaced :) The one in the family room is the "kids" tree. This tree was the tree Morgan and I had bought for our first Christmas together. It is a small little tree but perfect for a second tree. On the kids tree we hang all sorts of ornaments. Mostly toy oriented ornaments and the kids baby's first Christmas ornaments as well. This year however, we decided to go oh natural :) Morgan found a small tree lot by his work that sold trees for $1.50 a foot! So with nothing to lose, we bought our first real tree!
Here is the tree Avery wanted. It was actually a tree branch but she didn't care.
And there she is. Our tree.
The only way to get our tree home was to tie it up on the top of our car. Made us feel like Clark from Christmas vacation. If you haven't seen this movie borrow it from me. It's a classic!The kids were so funny on the drive home. We kept hearing a squeaking noise coming from the roof of the car. I told the kids that we probably have a squirrel trapped in our tree and it was coming home with us. Of course they had to fight about who will get to keep the squirrel so I told them it was probably a family of squirrels and that everyone can have one of their own :)
As the wind went through the branches, Carson yells, "Mom, the tree is waving at us!" we couldn't help but laugh.
Here is our tree all decked out in all it's glory. I LOVE Christmas!
