Oh Christmas Tree

We knew we would not put up a big tree this year, but the boys so badly wanted a tree.  So a little tree was in order.  We were blessed with a smaller Christmas tree from Brant's parents.  The boys were so excited to decorate it.  And this year I let them do it all. 

It turned out perfect.  It is just the right size for this little old house.  They picked out all the ornaments, we found a tree stand (which I adore!) and I already had the skirt from a previous small tree. 

I love to see what they picked out for the tree.  And I try really hard not to move ornaments.  Overall they did a pretty good job. 

And "every tree needs a star on top" they told me.

With "stocking hanging near by".  I asked them if they were ready for a new stocking (these look so babyish to me) and they promptly told me NO. 

 

I suppose Christmas is a time to be young.  After all Christmas does bring the kid out in all of us.
