O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree

Another way we prepare for Christmas (I talked about Christmas cards in my previous post) is by decorating our home.  One of the largest items of Christmas decor is a Christmas tree.  Hubby and I have lived in an apartment for the past few years.  Although we love our apartment, it doesn't have a ton of space.  For that reason and the fact that we are visiting family over Christmas (and therefore not here to enjoy it), we haven't put up our Christmas tree for a few years.  Well, I did buy a small table top tree last year and our downstairs neighbors gave us a table top tree too!  So we had something, but it wasn't quite the same.  As you may know from an earlier post we are preparing for our own little Pumpkin come March.  In doing so we have gotten rid of some furniture to make room for baby furniture and space to play!  Since we have a bit more space this year, I decided we should put up our tree.  I wasn't sure about taking the time to put ornaments on it, it's all ready pre-lit and trees can look nice that way.  However we had some friends over for dinner last week and Hubby thought a great way to entertain the kids would be to have them decorate our tree!

Even though our tree didn't get properly "fluffed" before the decorating began, I think it's beautiful and the kids really enjoyed putting the ornaments on!  Now if only they would come back in January and help us put the ornaments away . . . . . .  :)
