The day after Thanksgiving, we were all finally feeling good enough to start decorating for Christmas. Cory had to go into work at noon so we spent the morning shopping for a new Christmas tree. Our old pre-lit tree had several strings of lights out that we couldn't fix so we decided it was time for a new one.
I wanted to wait until Cory got home to decorate it, but the kids were so excited and wanted to surprise him, so as soon as Lily woke up from her nap, we got started. I'm pretty sure that within 15 minutes, it was completed. The kids were grabbing ornaments and haphazardly putting them on the tree as fast as their little hands would let them. I could not keep up with them at all!!
The finished product!
"What? What's that you say? You can't see the ornaments? Oh, well let me ask the kids to step aside!"
It may have been a little bottom heavy, but they were SO proud of it and could not wait to show Cory when he got home from work. (Don't worry- I evened it out after they went to bed that night and they never even noticed!) Now I'm trying to figure out how to stop them from moving the ornaments every time they walk by the tree!
