J and the boys picked up our Christmas tree from Lowe’s last weekend. Wildman chose the family this year. It might be a little squatty and it might shed its needles like mad but we think she’s a beaut!
We finally got around to decorating it on Tuesday evening. We only had one ornament casualty. The skiing Christmas bear’s skis were severed when he fell from a branch. A little super glue fixed him right up though.
Wildman also insisted on a lighting pattern. Red, green, green, red. I love that he’s totally taking ownership of the tree this year 🙂
We made sure to honor J’s grandmother who passed away earlier this year by hanging some of her handmade beaded ornaments. They bring a nice retro feel to our tree. I really like them.
I took a little self portrait to prove that I was there, soggy hair and all! J took a few pictures of me but they came out a bit blurry.
We had a nice time hanging all of our special ornaments right before the boys’ bed time. I like to think that they will look back on these holiday traditions fondly. J and I sure will!
It didn’t take us long to find one with a nice shape, good height and just the right fullness. I think the tent lights dimmed and a Heavenly glow illuminated this tree when J found it. It was one of those moments. Perhaps the camera didn’t quite capture that… This is J singing “Hallelujah”.
