Christmas tree progression

 


We put up our Christmas tree!  We picked it out on Saturday but had it in the office because of Andrew's party that night.  Sunday Andrew was gone most the day, then we had family council, and Monday we had FHE and decorated gingerbread houses.  Tuesday night Andrew worked late but didn't want to wait another day.


She's looking pretty!  Pretty much all our ornaments are homemade or gifted.  I have started getting monogram ornaments for the kids the last couple years, mostly from Anthropologie.  They have the prettiest felt ones.  This year I got all but the "Z" so I need to come up with a plan B for Zara.


I thought we got a Noble fir tree this year but we lucked out with a Fraser for the first time!  So happy about this because it's the best of both worlds.  Douglass firs smell the best, and noble first look pretty, and the Fraser smells amazing and looks beautiful!  There are also a few mini pinecones on it.  I'm a big fan.


A friend, Somer Lang gave us that pickle one.  Apparently there's a German tradition/family game around it.  I'll have to look that up but it sounds like fun!




We just put this one up in the boys room.  It's new since the girls got a white one from Lizzy.  Still needs a few ornaments.  The red garland is a yarn chain I made a couple years ago.


The girls' tree has a fat pink garland that came with there tree and they made their own ornaments.  Feeling extra festive now.
