As promised, we went Christmas tree hunting yesterday. The perk of going on a weekday is that it was just us. Us being the munchkins, the mama, the daddy, and the nanno. So we got the hayride all to ourselves.
Levi helped carry our tree. He kept talking about what a big, strong boy he is. Oh, my heart!
Sophia was unimpressed.
So, a little measuring up was in order.
Our Christmas tree (1st one as a family) has now taken residence in our living room. Decorating will commence in a few days. First, this mama has to figure out what to do about garland and a tree topper. Pre-Stephan and Sophia, I had a little tinsel tree. It didn't really need garland, and it was much tinier than the 7 footer now sitting in our living room. So, you can imagine my old topper would be dwarfed. Ideas? Suggestions?
Soo cute! The farm we went to was not as reasonably priced. $40 for a tree, regardless of the size (and we wanted between 5 and 6 feet!). We were bummed, but oh well. Lesson learned. And if we ever want a 15 foot tall tree, we know where to get one for a good buy now!
ReplyDeleteA fairly simple topper would be a BIG BOW. They can be quite elegant. Crafty; let Levi help you decorate a star made from poster board. It may not last more than one year, but it could be fun making it :).
ReplyDeletei love, love getting a real tree! it's seriously one of my favorite parts of the season. looks like you guys had a lot of fun! can't wait to see pictures of the decorated tree. ;)
ReplyDeleteyour tree looks so soft the ones we get down here are always so prickly. I hope you post photos of it in all it's galmed up Christmas glory.
ReplyDeleteahhh I love real xmas trees! We just have a fakey this year but Iwould love to have a real one.
ReplyDeletewell, I have no answer for the topper, but it looks like your son will cost you around 12.00 bucks!
ReplyDeleteI love that picture of Levi helping with the tree!!
ReplyDeleteDid you figure anything out to decorate your tree? Love the picture of Levi against the measuring stick! So cute!
