Oh Christmas tree....

I have now sat down after 3 or 4 hours of dragging out and putting up the tree and all the "stuff " that goes along with it. I am a single tree kind of girl..... I used to put small table top trees in the kids rooms but IN CASE we MIGHT be moving... I opted to be simple as possible (ok... lazy as possible.... ) I put my kitchen stuff out which I had not planned on doing so I am not a total scrooge....  The kids L.O.V.E.D helping me do the tree- well- Kaden was only awake for the lights .... and now he is awake to see it all done! (so much for rushing to bed because my back and legs are throbbing!)

Here are the results..... from  my cell.... much quicker to download to blog and I am LAZY remember!
Taa-daa..... my first attempt at the mesh stuff.... harder than I thought!
I will try to get pics of the kids sides of the tree... Kyle said he put 400 on ... and most of them are on
the same 5 branches :)... Kaylee's side is covered in Barbie ornaments that she played with longer than
she decorated the tree!

My star is kinda sad but I refuse to buy more glitter-coated-anything after cleaning up that mess!

Our family ornament we get every year




Got this made for my kitchen because I LOVE some gingerbread people





And thats all... and I am tired.... Goodnight :)

LOL on the kids rooms, my kids both have 6.5 ft trees in there rooms, I have a 6 ft Coca Cola tree, complete with red lights and polar bears, a 9 ft family tree, a 9 ft tree in my dining room, a table top one for the kid's bathroom, and adding 1 more this year to my tv room, an AUBURN tree,LOL. I still want one for my bedroom.....
