Trimming the Tree...

I know it is not even officially December yet, but our REAL tree is up and it looks amazing! We put on some Christmas music and started trimming the tree (literally). The first thing Sadi did when we got it in..... She could not stop smelling the thing. There is just no duplicating that aroma, I love it! Every time you go out of the house and come back in Pow! You get that beautiful smell. After we decorated the big tree it was time to bust out the kids trees and all of their ornaments.
A few years back we decided to let each of the kids decorate their own tree with their ornaments. Hey with 4 kids that is alot of homemade ornaments! Here is Sadi's tree..
Chase's which he was mad that he didn't have more ornaments so we had to find some extra for him.
And Kelsey's which has mostly all Rudolph ornaments, she loves Rudolph! It is always fun to see the ornaments they have made and picked out the previous year, it is like opening a little Christmas early!
I think it is time to get the cookies in the oven to complete that "Christmas" smell!

Love the Tree. I bet it smells just like it use to at home with Dad's perfect Tree. The one mom always had to tell everyone how much he paid for it every year all year long. ha ha
