Christmas Tree Decorating

We had our house ready for Christmas before Thanksgiving this year.  We had time and Angie just wanted a little extra joy this year.

David has been growing this Christmas tree from Gram and Grandad this year.  He was excited to decorate it with lights.  He waters and trims it to keep it looking as much like a Christmas tree as possible.  

Three years ago we gave up our tradition of a real tree when we discovered it made Greg very sick.  So, this is little, we can keep it and it thrives on the back porch instead of our house.

Then it was time for our family tree.

Angie bought these bubble lights in July on clearance.  These were on her tree every year as a kid and it brings back so many great Christmas memories of her childhood.

Then the ornaments came out... and the boys brought their droids down to decorate... here Adam is driving his with the elf hat on.

Only one ornament broke and it was Angie that dropped it.

So proud!

We had to buy a new star because our star didn't turn on this year.
