Since we were in town and didn't have any plans the weekend after Thanksgiving we got our tree early. We debated about if we should go to the Christmas tree farm or go to our trusty flower shop to get the tree. After some discussion we decided why make things hard. The flower shop has beautiful trees, it's close to our house and usually they don't have many big trees so our decision on which tree is easy. As expected they only had a couple 9 ft trees so we picked our favorite and we were off to decorate it. This year with the addition of a trailer, getting the tree home was much easier than it usually is.
The tree was much bigger around than we thought, so our usual spot didn't work. We still found a spot for it.
As always the kids had fun unpacking all of the ornaments and looking for their favorites. As you can tell from the dance costume, it took us a couple of days to get the tree up, lights on it and decorations unpacked so it was Tues night by the time we were actually getting around to decorating. Sometimes things take awhile to accomplish in our house lately.
This year Emerson was pretty excited and curious about having a tree in our living room. She had fun putting a couple of ornaments on but she had more fun taking them off and showing us the pretty ones. By about a week in our Christmas tree was undecorated from about 3 feet down and over decorated the rest of the way up.
The boys were finally good at spreading the ornaments out evenly but between Emerson and Lucy the ornaments got rearranged on a daily basis.
Our tree ended up beautiful! I love unpacking all the ornaments and looking at the ones we have gotten throughout the years.
It was Bryce's turn to put the star on top. This is my photo proof so I know who's turn it is next year.
Emerson loved looking at all the ornaments and saying "petty petty".
