Blogmas 2014 - Day 16 Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Our Christmas tree isn't anything worth bragging about.  It's just a tiny 7 ft prelit artificial that stands in the corner of our living room.  It's smaller than the one we used to have but I enjoy it very much.  We don't have a lot of space so it fits perfectly.  We have a wide variety of ornaments, mostly child-related.  Every year we let the kids pick one or two ornaments for the tree.  It makes it special.  The kids also do most of the decorating so it adds that special touch.  Well, if you don't mind having a tree that looks like it's been done by a 3 year old and a 7 year old.  I love it!


And on top of the tree stands our blonde-haired angel that was a gift from my mother-in-law one year.  She adds a nice touch, but I'm thinking in the future of getting a star for the top and displaying the angel on a shelf.


And here is the ornament that was purchased this year.  We bought it at Five Below.  I think my husband was more excited about this one than the rest of us, although we all found it to be cute.

  4. I love your tree & ornament tradition. The trees done by a kiddos touch are the most special! I love your angel too, but I love an angel for a topper.
