Oh Christmas Tree!!!

We started a new tradition this year for Christmas, we got Sadie her very own tree and let her decorate it. Last week, a friend of ours posted pictures on her blog about her girls putting up their trees and I thought it was a perfect idea. Sadie was so thrilled and spent a lot of time placing the ornaments just right on the tree. It also doubles as a night light...thanks Cassie for the great idea!




We started putting our big tree up last week and it has been quite the headache. We got our tree out of storage and had it all set up and started decorating it and the middle sections of lights went out. Being the stubborn person that I am, I was determined to find the culprit and spent hours testing and replacing bulbs. After HOURS of no progress, I said the helk with it and made Charlie go and get a new tree at midnight on Saturday night. I woke up Sunday with a horrible toothache and have been sick the last two days so the tree decoration was put on hold. I finally started feeling better today (thanks to a root canal) and finished our big tree. As I was taking pictures, Sadie walked in and said, "that is so amazing!" She is obsessed with the big candy cane swirls and will pull them out of the tree and act like she is licking a sucker.
I love having the house all Christmasy...I may leave it all up until May.


Sadie had to take a picture with the amazing tree!


Happy Holidays Everyone!!!

Cute! I always put a small tree in my kids rooms. They love it. And Santa usually leaves them a small gift under their own trees, too!

So Cute! Jax has had his own tree in his room too. He was born in December, so it's extra special for him. Your tree is beautiful!

I love your tree! It's about time for us to get some new decorations...probably not this year though. I hope you are feeling better!

The tree is gorgeous! I had to have a root canal recently and I would have to say even though it is painful - it is so worth it!
