Today we changed our Thanksgiving tree into a Christmas tree! This is the first year that we are using our bigger newer Christmas tree, and since it is bigger and came with multicolored lights already on it, that meant a shopping trip to go get new decorations to put on it (our other tree has silver and gold decorations). So Wednesday when I was out shopping with my sisters I picked up some new garland, and some beads, a tree skirt and a new star. 🙂 The kids had lots of fun decorating the tree with their cousins, and some of them got quite mad when there weren’t any ornaments left to hang.
Our finished tree:
Finished AND with all the presents underneath, and Santa quietly watching 😉
That Santa was something that when I was very young my mom painted. She felt like when she was done she had painted his face to look like me. So when I got married and started my own family I inherited it. 🙂
I love that the biggest ornaments on your tree is pictures of your kids! That rocks!!
