Our Tree

Obviously I haven't done a post on our wonderful Thanksgiving trip yet...I was brilliant and left the CD of my 400+ pictures we took at my parents house. So as soon as my mom gets that in the mail to me (hint hint) I will go back and do a ditty on it. But for now we are having so much fun getting ready for Christmas that I need to move on.

Last Saturday we took the kids to get a tree and they were too funny. Brynn went straight for some little potted Christmas trees and Tyler made a mad dash for the shortest-to-the-ground ones he could possibly find and they were in love.
As PJ was holding up the giant 7-8 foot trees trying to convince them how cool the big ones were, Brynn got frustrated and explained that she and Tyler wanted to get one for them that was just their size. He could get one for the parents that was our size but she and Tyler needed one that they could reach. Our kids are stubborn and we love to see them happy, so of course we gave in and bought them their little 4 foot tree. It is pretty cute (although PJ couldn't handle it and eventually put it up on a little table to make it taller - as you'll see in a following picture). Then we decided to make homemade scented ornaments this year...

Their tree...
This is just a picture Brynn took of Dylan hanging out with some of our snowmen while we worked...
We're having lots of Holiday Happyness!...gotta love this time of year!!

How fun! Your tree is so cute and it looks so full! I think it's great that they wanted one their size. Too cute!

I love the hand ornaments. I can't wait to see if mine turn out that well! Keep your fingers crossed for me. =)
