Oh Christmas Tree 2014

On the Saturday after Thanksgiving, we went out to get our tree from Trosa.  It was fun this year because James was old enough to walk around and give us his opinion (which mostly consisted of wanting any and all of these reindeers!).

We went for a short tree this year for budget and simplification purposes.  I'm grateful we did - it even fits into our crowded living room, with all the toddler toys and furniture, better than the larger trees we've had the last few years (because we have 12 ft ceilings in here and they just scream "giant Christmas tree!").









We only put a few ornaments on this year - keeping it simple.  The breakable ones are higher up where James cannot reach them.  Around the middle and bottom of the tree are ornaments that James is free to play with - so we often un-decorate and re-decorate that half of the tree!



Without a topper... still in progress!
