Well after 32 years of having a real tree every year for Christmas...I finally caved and went for the artificial. The last few years we have just went to Menards to get a live tree, and within 2 weeks there were needles all over the floor. They just don't last as long as the Cedar trees from the pasture that we used to get every year when I was growing up. I have always loved putting up the tree and Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving, and with the trees from Menard's that just wasn't feasible. I mean, really, we would just end up with a pile of needles on the floor and a bare tree!
We went to Target the weekend after Thanksgiving and picked up this beauty. The boys got busy right away decorating it with their special touch!
Peek -a-Boo!!
Aiden used the same technique as he did last year! Basically you take the ornaments and pile them in the branches of the tree...just like a little nest!!
Do this with about 15 ornaments and you end up with this beautiful display.....
The boys made quick work and before long the tree was twinkling with Christmas magic!!
Bring on the Holidays!!!
