CHRISTMAS TREE 08

We are headed to California and Utah this holiday season. My way out of having to put up Christmas decorations. The kids HATE my fancy, white lighted, fake "memory" tree every year and want me to do a little decorating before we leave,so I decided to buy them a small "real" tree to decorate and avoid putting up all the other stuff. It's in my kitchen (to avoid pine needle clean-up anywhere else). The girls LOVED picking out the tree and love the colored, twinkle lights and Disney ornaments. Funny how whatever you grow up with you never want (hence, my childhood tree with big, bulbous OUTSIDE colored lights, fake popcorn garland, and cookie dough ornaments...). Guess now I've made my kids hate the fancy look. WHATEVER...my tree, my house. As you can see it is pretty pitiful, but they plan on having a small, "real" tree from now on so we'll see about that. Oh Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree...what will you be next year we'll see!
PS. The silly one of me is Rob's favorite...It's my "I GAVE IN" picture.
