my favorite part...
this year i just didn't have it in me to do a snazzy tree (i really do miss the smell of pine in my house, but then again...it might make me sick! who knows these days) ...so i let the kids go to town on our little fake tree that usually goes on the front steps. they totally had more fun this year b/c they got to do whatever they wanted without me saying, "oh, but those are too close together." and somehow my favorite part was the clump of all the ornaments "too close together". we got those snowmen last year at Kmart. they change color...the kids LOVE them. well, our christmas is a bit different this year (without any other decorations up), but it's good. i'm sure from now on we'll have to have a tree they can do with no stipulations.

Love it! Anna who is 10 decorated ours as well. She's short so needless to say there's hardly any ornaments up high.
I think the best part of the Christmas tree is when everyone can participate. The kids probably enjoyed it more without any rules, they will probably always remember it too.
LOVE the clump of candy canes at the bottom! precious.
they are expert decorators! move over, Martha!
That is priceless, Lara...!! I used to have a perfect tree too, but now I let the kids decorate our real tree. It means much more now....
You are such a good mom!!
Hugs!

The clump of candy canes made me think of our tree and how Gracie did the same thing on it. I've been finding candy canes hidden in toy purses, the costume box, behind pillows and under couches ever since you left - I love it! Makes me miss you all tons. We loved having you here!
that is so dang cute. next year i'll let claire help. lol. :o)
I love the tree! The kids did a great job! :) I hope you are feeling better. Congratulations by the way... I had no idea you were pregnant! ((hugsj)) Have a very Happy New Year!
