Oh Christmas Tree

Since all of our Saturdays were full of livestock activities (see last post) we had to settle for getting our tree from a parking lot. This is pretty much an abomination for my family of Oregonians. But we really had no daylight hours to go get a tree from a farm and there were trees at the local hardware store and it supported our local high school. Once we got there we saw how crazy our kids were and we ended up being grateful that the whole activity only took 20 minutes. So we were able to get our tree and decorate it all in an evening.

 I mostly followed this busy boy who thought he was in a magical place anyway!

And decorating was fun and stressful and as usual, multiple ornaments broke. But we love having a somewhat fresh lit tree in our living room. 

Sidenote, we got most of the gifts during black Friday and cyber Monday so they were already wrapped and ready to put under the tree. My kids have never seemed to try and open them so it works for us.
Merry Christmas!
