Our Christmas Tree

by Melissa on December 8, 2011

in Christ's Love,Christmas,My boys

Our Christmas Tree -

It’s artificial and pretty mushed together because the boys wouldn’t let me “fluff” it.

Yes, the tree is sitting in front of a picture because we didn’t have anywhere else to put it.

The “look” of the tree doesn’t match any of the decorations because hand made ornaments don’t coordinate.

The ornaments are pretty low on the tree because the boys helped and can only reach so high.

The ornaments are really close together and because clearly Kermit the Frog is friends with Megatron.

The garland is very sparse because the boys wanted me to make it sparkle even if I don’t have enough to go around the tree.

The Angel is paper because The Buddy made it when he was 3.

Our Christmas Tree may not be perfect but it looks perfectly perfect to us!
