Decorating the Christmas Tree

Monday, December 15, 2008

Well, I think I mentioned it before, but we went ahead & got a fake tree. I was against it, but it was probably a good idea...we were a little tired & think Brad needed a break from the 9 million lights he puts on the tree every year. So to get over the issue of "tree smell" I bought a Yankee Candle tart (the evergreen scented one) & now we're all happy. It's our Korea tree & it won't be headed back to the states with us. :)


Before...it just has the candy canes & angel on it. Oh, the top candy canes are dog treats! Indy sits at the tree to beg on occasion. Nothing quite like a little holiday torture...

Our tree is a little narrower than usual, so our LARGE number of ornaments needed a little more room. In steps our littlest tree decorator...

Whew...this decorating is hard stuff! :) It's a ruff life!
Beks & her crazy hair...Grammie tried to get her Christmas hat on, but no luck! Big headed babies in this family!
This pic is for GG Jane...see how cute the sweater is? Thank you! :)
And after...
I knew the fakeness wouldn't be so obvious once we got the tree decorated. I actually love it -- it's so happy & colorful. :) Merry Christmas!

Bloggy love,

Yeah, the fake trees take some getting used to, huh? Someone sent us a clump of real fir boughs from the states, so we tied them up in cloth and stuck them in the tree for smell. And, our ornaments are all several feet off the ground so Shane can't reach them. Oh, and no presents under, because they would last for about 3 seconds. It's the most pathetic Christmas tree ever.
