O Christmas Tree
We put up our tree last week and Ben was so excited to see it the next morning. But, it needed a few more touches. So after a trip to Wal-mart this morning I'm not touching it again! Not that it's entirely fancy or anything by any means, but I still really like it. I think in a couple of years we'll go with a more modern color scheme on our tree (I really want to do blue and green) but for now I think it's great and perfectly kid friendly. The candy canes are a Saunders' tradition and I like it because Ben is way more inclined to pull those off the tree than the breakable ornaments! We wrapped up a few of Ben's presents and I still can't believe it's only a few weeks away!
How are your trees decorated? Do you go modern, crafty or traditional?
very nice, I really like the traditional red and green! We got some of those decorated balls this year too, and i love them (I actually got them last year on clearance). Our tree right now is so hodge podge, but one day I want 2, one with all the handmade and crazy ornaments, and one all icy blues, silver, and teals.
I like gold, silver, and red on my tree! It has classic balls, music-themed ornaments, and various others that Tommy and Anna have made, so I guess you could call it a hodge-podge tree! Your tree looks great!
ooooo! Your tree looks wonderful!! So pretty! Gotta love kid friendly, thats for sure!
We have our tree up, but no ornaments on it yet...slowly but surely! I don't know if I have a color scheme for it...I have alot of ornaments from when I was a child...and the girls each get a new one each year! Hopefully we'll put everything on today!
I love Christmas! Hopefully it doesn't fly by too fast!
Your tree looks so awesome! I do a little bit of both. We put up red silver and light green, but we always have an angel on top. Oh, and this year I let the kids "help" decorate (and then redecorated after they went to bed)
I keep thinking I'm gonna do different colors each year, but for the past 8 years of our marriage (all of them) I've done the same old thing because I like it so much. I do gold and white on our tree. Look for pics on our blog soon...
It looks great. I'm guessing that we will never have a tree with matching ornaments.
Looks great!! We do traditional Christmas colors, gold, white and green. Love it!!
Very pretty tree! I like traditional -- it's a classic. ^_^ Ours has white, silver and ... purple ornaments! With floral sprays throughout. I still need a sort of topper. I think it will be a bow, with ... purple ribbon.
I think our tree is pretty traditional. I like it that way. Brings back memories.
Your tree is so pretty! I love the decorated balls. I wish they had some in the colors that I need. We do a modern-ish tree, mostly purple and silver to match our purple living room. We put a purple and silver bow on top with ribbons trailing down.
Missy you took such pretty pictures of our tree. It looks so full and almost real. Our tree looks so so so good because you took so much care to make it that way. Great job Missy.
Awww to John's comment!
Your tree is beautiful! I just wanted to say for about the millionth time, I want your camera! I am really hating my camera lately. It doesn't take pictures like it used to. sigh.
Wow, I'm so jealous--that's beautiful! And I don't even have a tree up yet :(
