Christmas Tree

Earlier this week we put up our Christmas tree.  To the gasp and horror of many, we are not firm believers of a real tree.  We enjoy putting up our artificial tree just fine.  Though I love the end result, I am not a huge fan of decorating.  I have 6 bins of Christmas decor in my living room waiting to be unpacked.  Wonna help, mom?
Claudia was in her glory.  I think this girl was born to decorate.

Trouble.

This was Greta's favorite ornament.  She carried in on her arm all night.  Marlisa, do you remember giving it to Claudia on her first Christmas??

Not a bad tree for $5 at a yard sale!!

Someone was very excited to get to put the star on the tree

  1. Gorgeous tree! We finally bought an artificial this year ... too many asthmatics/allergy sufferers in our family to have a real tree in the middle of the house.

  2. Our artificial tree fell apart last year.....we have had it for soooo long. Yours looks great! Six bins of Christmas stuff? Whoa baby....I just squished mine down to three bins last year. Phew.

  3. Lori, you should let Claudia decorate your house! I bet she would do a splendid job. I think too she has a good eye.
    I could come over too! Another house to decorate sounds like fun to me! You could watch my children. :-)

I had sooo much FUN!(but I was REALLY cold)We have an artificial tree too. And me and Ethan got to put it up and decorate it all by ourselves! Maybe I will put a picture on my blog of the tree...
