"Special Tree"

We always go and get our Christmas tree the weekend of the Christmas parade. However this year, we weren't able to do so since the girls were sick.Keltie has been very concerned that Santa wouldn't come to our house if we didn't have a tree. We have been busy, but we finally got one this weekend. I would like to say that we went in the woods and cut down the perfect one, but this year we took a different route. We bought our tree at the hardware store. Totally not us, but we were pressed for time. Let's just say, it's "special." We brought it home and put it up and of course it was even uglier at home. To top everything off, I put the lights on which is something I don't usually do. (When you see pictures, you'll understand why.) Keltie wanted to help decorate so of course I let her. Let's just say there are A LOT of ornaments three feet and down on the tree. Kinsley was more interested in taking the ornaments apart. I'm just glad we didn't want a Christmas tree picture on our card.

Keltie had the first two ornaments on before I was even downstairs.

Doesn't everyone wear a tutu when they decorate their tree?

Kinsley actually did a really good job helping in the beginning.

It went downhill quickly.

I told Keltie that this was a sad looking tree. She didn't quite understand this and said, "No, it's a happy and pretty tree."

All I can say, is SPECIAL!!

Just one of the highly decorated areas.
