Oh Christmas Tree Oh Christmas Tree

Usually the day after Thanksgiving we put up our tree.  This year on that day I was at the Nutcracker so we didn't get to put it up then.  We didn't get to put it up the day after that either.  We finally got around to putting it up the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  We bought this tree on the Day after Christmas 3 years ago.  We are not so impressed with it.  It is very slender.  We like big fat trees.  But we are settling for this one this year until we can find a better one.  It is really easy to put together though so that is a bonus.

Natalie and Ella spreading out all of the branches.

Tyler pitching in to help.  That is the first step to a nice looking tree.  Make sure that the branches are spread out.

Then as usual we went decoration wild.  We like hanging as many ornaments on it as humanly possible.  We like it to look very full.









When it was all done I had to get a photo of the kids around it.  Yes Natalie pushing it upward.  It liked to lean a little.

All of my kids liked to lay under the tree and look up at the lights.  They girls I guess are getting to big for that.  Thankfully Ella and Tyler aren't.
