Typically, I wait until Christmas Eve to trim the tree. No joke: if I trim it any earlier, the kids tear it apart.
This year, though, I really wanted a decorated tree. Call me crazy (everyone does), but I was just in a Christmas mood. So we decorated the tree...
The kids loved that I let them help...and more than a week before Christmas! Truly a milestone. Here's the finished result:
And we even got a little more Christmas scattered around the house. Poinsettias, with a NOEL nativity:
And my sister made this beautiful quilt for Christmas a few years ago. I hung it over our least favorite window. I wish it were just a little bigger...but I love it anyway.
Wow, I haven't had this much fun decorating in years. Here's hoping the kids enjoy it, too - enough to leave it alone until after Christmas!
This is fabulous! And your tree is beautiful! Hope it lasted long enough!
