We decorated our Christmas tree tonight. It is a new artificial one that is pre-lit. Brett (7) actually is the one that put the tree together on Sunday while everyone else was busy doing other things - he did such a great job!! Mitch had to put the very top piece on, but Brett did all the bending of the limbs to make it look full!!
We put the Holiday XM station on our DirecTV, turned off all the lights except for the tree and had fun. We sang along with the songs we knew and it was very nice just being with the kids and doing that. Mitch was at a work function, so he wasn't home for it.
The kids posed for these pictures, and I tried to get a good picture of the tree, but my camera is ready for the junk heap.
On a side note, see the empty cardboard wreath behind the TV?? We were talking on Scrap Addict about how you display your Christmas cards that you receive. I have used that wreath since before Mitch and I were married, you put the cards in the little upside down 1/2 moon shapes and it fills the wreath. I usually save the previous years cards and put them in there so it isn't just empty :)
Sounds like you guys had a lot of fun girl! tell Brett he did a great job on the tree
