Oh Christmas Tree!

 After some challenges with our Christmas tree being 10ft tall and our ceilings being only 8ft tall, we decided to get a real tree.  This is the first time we have ever had a real tree.  It was kind of a let down to be honest.  We were there for about 15 minutes, and that was that.  Maybe next time we'll have to go cut down our own tree for more excitement.   
Bennett found a few he liked, this being one of them!  

 But here is the beauty we picked.  It really is a pretty tree and it smells nice in my house.  
 Kambri asked me a million times when we could decorate it, so they had a good time doing it.  Among the ornaments that actually survived, the tree looked nice. 
 It was so cute watching them put the ornaments on.  I can't believe how big my kids are getting. It does make for fun holidays!

 My horrible attempt at getting pictures of my kids with their Christmas outfits on.  Brynn was sleeping so I couldn't get one of her and my camera sucks.  But at least the kids are cute!

 I would love to say that Bennett only has this face in a few of the pictures, but it's so not the case. This is what he does whenever I take pictures, he says he wants to do his mean face.  
Hopefully next year I will be more on the ball with Christmas festivities. It was a little hard after moving and having my house kind of a mess.  Oh and yes that is my awesome wall in the pictures, I love it!

Having a real tree is a fun change! You've got to at least do it once, and now you have:) Did you let your kids decorate it all by themselves?! What a good mom-

Glad your house is finally done, how exciting!!

Your wall looks way cute. I can't wait to come and see it all. I use to love real trees, now I just really love my fake big tall tree. I love Bennetts face, that reminds me so much of a face Mason would make:) He is funny!
