Anyway, we always go to the same place, getting to know the family that owns the tree farm and getting something new for our tree or house every year from their little store. The kind of tree has changed through the years. This year is is a Concolor Fir(sp?) Which has shorter needles that don't really fall off, but they are soft to the touch. And the smell is really yummy! I really love a real tree in my house.
I'll have to post more on how the tree looks inside. I actually was able to pack some stuff away so we could make room for this gorgeous tree!!I didn't take a lot of pictures because the kids and I were decorating while Al was at the farm. Carter was a great help this year with the lights, Casey tied himself up with the garland, and Emily is getting a nice appreciation for my special ornaments.
I find I have a lot of ornaments on the tree this year that I have left off in year's past because there wasn't room or they just weren't my favs. I neglected to go through the boxes before the kids started decorating this year...Oh well. That's fun too and I think it's beautiful.
Our tree is kind of a mismatch of homemade ornaments, store bought, and hand blown glass with multi colored lights. What do you put on your tree?

As you may have noticed, my tree (especially this year) is a hodge-podge of whatever was in the boxes as well. It has special areas that each of the grandchildren "decorated". I might add a few more balls, but I promise to leave those spots alone. Happy tree!
we decorate with more and more kids ornaments and less and less of ours every year...(this is when i feel like putting up a tree) :)
But...the ornament we got on our honeymoon in Hawaii makes it every year.
fun posting...beautiful tree...I especially love the picture of you and the tree. :)
I LOVE the tree! and I love that you went and cut it down yourself :)
AWESOME! :)
