Decorating the Christmas Tree together as a family is really special to me. It has always been a tradition in my family to do it together while listening to Christmas music. It really brings the Christmas spirit to your heart!! And I'm a sucker about everything to do with Christmas! I love the look, the smells, the feeling, the food, the spirit, and of course the gift giving! Here is Cord strategically placing an ornament on the tree. He has a funny way of bunching them all together in clusters and I just let him, and then secretly move them a part when he's not watching.
Here I am attempting to put ribbon on my charlie brown tree, and I just don't think big ribbon and skinny trees jive, so on my finished project I ended up taking off the ribbon!
Here is Chris placing the star on top!
And here is the finished project minus the ribbon, so I might need to add something else. And the flash takes away the effect of the lighted tree in the dark! I seriously sit on my couch and bond with my tree every night because I just LOVE having a Christmas tree at this time of year!

So fun! The trains are way cute. Great idea. I LOVE everything about Christmas too. I just posted about Boston's letter to santa that he wrote today. A little early don't you think?... he is definately my kid. I can never even sleep on Christmas Eve. You are so good to get a real tree:)
to cute - love the tree - its big! I must be grinchin out in my old age. I do love it - so much - but i just think we need to simplify. i'm up to 10 parties now - its too much and makes it more overwhelming than fun - ya know. I love sitting by the tree though! XOXO
The gingerbread trains are such a cute idea! We made homemade gingerbread houses last year, because I bought this cute cookie cutter set from Carter's school fundraiser. But this year I think I'm going to simplify and buy the kit from the store.
How fun! I can just see you admiring your tree each night:)... I'm with you I love to decorate to music and make a day of it! It gets a little harder each year with my "helpers" getting bigger-they want to put the decorations where they want and they know when I move them.....Memories!
I love you so much! Christmas always reminds me of you because you are such a Christmas fanatic. I love the Charley Brown tree. I actually like the giant ribbon! :) I love that you said that about cord and the bunching of the ornaments because Blakley did the same thing and I just was right behind her trying to spread them out without distracting from the creativity of course. :) Merry Christmas! I love it too, mostly from being around someone who loved it sooo much.
PS I wouldn't even want to know what my body fat % is let alone tell anyone else. You are so good, you look awesome!
Your blog is super cute. :0) I didn't take any pictures of us decorating our tree...hello? haha...oh well. But, great job! You have such cute family pictures too...that's so hard to do with little kids. :0) Anyway, love it!
