Setting up the Christmas Tree
Owen and Daddy had a great time setting up the Christmas tree last night. I have the rest of the house to decorate, but this was their thing. LOL. Isn't it beautiful???
I wish Tim would set our tree up! The decorating is pretty much up to me. Your tree is very pretty. It has a victorian look to it. Do you collect a certain kind of ornament?
Well, we don't actually collect anything specific. I do like the nativity "old world" looks. But, this one year, before Owen was born, Charlie and I decided we were tired of his UofM colors. LOL. His previous trees were all decked out in blue blubs, of all sizes. So, we went and got these deep victorian colors. Since then, I've added only when we've gotten an ornament as a gift. But, last year, Owen did some homemade ones. I hate to not hang them up. I'm thinking of getting him a table top tree for his bedroom, so he can be excited for his own creations. Hobby Lobby, here I come. LOL. Do you have a special theme, Julie?
No special theme, but Tim has a lot of musical instruments on the tree and I have a bunch of cloisone ornaments. Tim gets me a few each year. I'd eventually like to do a whole tree with them.
