Ok, I'm the first to admit it...we're lame. We have a fake tree, we're not one of those cool families that go out and pick out their special tree every ear. When we first got married I insisted that we go out and chop down our own tree. So during our first Christmas together we cut down the cutest charlie brown tree!
Isn't it cute?
The next year we had our surprise blessing Valley! She was only 3 months old and once again I insisted on cutting down our own tree. So we went out and bought a real tree...that was our compromise. We also bought glass ornaments...what was I thinking? Every single ornament shattered and it took me weeks to clean up the pine needles. That year we bought a fake tree on sale after Christmas. Have I looked back, wishing we still chopped down our tree? Wishing my daughter could experience that? Sure! But I also am thankful I don't have to clean up pine needles and glass shards =P
This year was our third year with our fake tree. Valley was so excited but got tired about 1/119 of the way through. She tired out and watched a show while we did all the work. We also let Valley decorate the tree herself. Which was a pretty big step for my analytical brain. I won't bore you with talk of my inner Christmas Tree struggle anymore. Here's the photos.
