O Christmas Tree, O Christmas Tree
Why do I procrastinate so
Much with thee?
I have been giving myself a super hard time because I do not have our family tree up yet!
But today after putting up my fifth Christmas tree – four in my childrens’ rooms and a Birthday Tree in the kitchen, I have decided that I haven’t done so bad after all. So let’s see, four children – times – four trees plus one – times two or three pictures a piece! Well bear with me, that’s a lot of pictures!!!
I wanted to mention that two of the trees were free, one a friend gave to me and one I found by the road with a sign on it that said “free!” The other three were purchased fully decorated at Family Dollar Store for $5 a piece! (after Christmas two years ago-that’s 15 bucks baby!) Anyway, we have changed up the decorations a bit as per each kids’ request. I think they turned out cute this year!
Tree #1
First up is the Birthday Tree for “Yours Truly” as I am a Christmas Eve baby. I get excited that all is so festive around my birthday and the thought that I share my birthday at Midnight with the celebration of the birth of my Saviour:
It makes me smile to think of how I am turning 29 again this year!
Tree #2
Next up is Buttercup’s Tree. We found this cute pink and green sock monkey and decided to decorate the tree to match!
Tree #3
Heeere’s Bubba’s Tree! He has been obsessed with the Geo Trax Trains since he was a wee little boy and still plays with them! I figured this is probably the last year I could get by with it so I thought “go for it!”
Tree #4
Here is LadyBug’s Tree. She wanted a blue theme to match her blue room 🙂
Tree #5
And finally my beautiful Butterfly’s tree. She wanted a camouflage/hunting theme. I am not finished yet but started out with this:
Check out the fine looking boots she got last year for Christmas!
I did not spend as much time on her tree as what I would have liked to because
1. I had to stumble over clothes and papers to get to the tree and
2. Her room smells like dirty gym socks since she barely gets her laundry done
is a superstar athlete!
Well there you have it! All five Christmas Trees and all 15 pictures of them! Whew! Thanks for hanging in there with me! I hope the kids love them as much as I do.
Now I hope I have the energy to decorate our family tree in the living room. Looking forward to it!
I hope you all are enjoying the Holiday Season!
How many trees do you have?
