Manic Monday: Tree

When we were first married, we went out and chopped down our own tree. It was too tall, so we ended up using just the top part. It was one of the funniest trees we ever had. We have also bought them from the store, but for the past 6 years we have had an artificial tree. I have to admit that it is definitely time for a real one again. Allie, my 5 year old, asked me this year if it was close enough to Christmas to "put together the tree."

As always, it takes me hours to get the lights up...the children were a little impatient and decided to make a tree skirt for our tree while they waited.

After days of partial ornamentation, we got on the ball and got most of the ornaments up. Our completed tree.
