I can't believe this is Jake and I's 4th Christmas together! That has flown by. This is Emery's 3rd Christmas too. I can't believe it. And finally broke down and just went and bought an artificial tree. We have always done real ones, and this year we were going to go cut down our own. But time wouldn't allow. But I'm not gonna lie, setting up a pre-lit tree and plugging it in and wallah. Done. Was pretty dang nice. Emery was loads of help, getting it out of the box, helping "unsmoosh" all the branches. We had Elf playing and we were ready!
Until we got it all set up and this one circle of branches wouldn't light! Are you kidding! It was brand new! Soooo.....we boxed it back up and had to wait until the next day to take it back and hope they had another one to exchange it for. Luckily they did!
So round 2 of setting it up.
All the lights work!
Emery had a blast putting all the ornaments on the tree. She had a hard time getting them to stay though.
But when she did, she was very proud.
Ta-Da! It turned out really pretty. I have switched most of my decor from the traditional red and green, to gold, white, silver, and blues. I love it. I need to go get more ornaments after Christmas though when they go on sale.
Macie's new favorite spot to scoot is right under the tree and look at the lights. Where ever in the living room I put her, she ends up under the tree. Another reason I'm kind of glad we don't have a real one. It would probably get pulled down or something. I do need a pine candle though. I love that smell.
Our Halls are all Decked!
