Green branches at least a week or so longer... HOPEFULLY! We went to a real Christmas tree farm to cut down our tree this year ... only to learn that the furthest south they grow Fraser Firs is North Carolina ... so we bought a pre-cut tree and went back to cut down a tree for the boys (and ME!) I always wanted a kid tree - and we got one! Benjamin and I had a little date to the Christmas tree farm ... saw Santa, went on a wagon ride and cut down WHICHEVER tree we wanted!
We have been SO busy trying to get it decorated! We made a fruit loop chain, glitter star, jingle bell ornaments, snowmen with our pictures for the faces, tin-foil painted ornaments, wrapping paper ornaments, a navivity,tinsel, candy canes and tonight... cinnamon ornaments! We are planning to make a FEW more as well!
The boys tree in their playroom ... as decorated through tonight! (note: it is anchored by packaging tape in a pickle jar which is inside a glass bowl ... all weighted down with DIRT ... poor guy didn't and DOESN'T get any H2O ... we're investing in a stand after the holidays!)
So here are a few pictures of OUR tree... the boys at the tree farm (Benjamin PRETTY excited!):
The ornament Benjamin made for our tree this year!

you're such a cuuuute mom!
Cute ornament ideas- I don't know where you find all the time, energy, and patience for all of these projects!
I can't wait to see the rest of your cute house!
You totally win the cutest family ever award! And for real--you're Christmas cards look straight from a magazine--SO DARLING!!!
A love the kid tree idea! I am so doing that with Laurel next year...maybe she will leave our big tree alone then, but I'm not counting on it. She has already "redecorated" it about 20 times!
Looks like you have been busy having FUN with your kids!! I love how both trees turned out.
I just happened upon your blog and couldn't help but read. You are an adorable mother with stories that warmed my heart and brought tears to my eyes. Keep it up Mom! It is all so worth the effort!!!
