The Tree is Up...

Actually, it's been up for a few weeks now. We finally got a new one after using the same tree for the last several years and we got it a couple of weeks before Thanksgiving. We wanted to make sure it's all good so hubby took it out of the box and set it up. It took him about 2 hours to do that so he decided not to take it apart anymore and just leave it up. The little one got very excited of course because it's the first time we have a tree up even before thansgiving. We put the decorations on it 2 weekends ago so it won't look too bare on Thanksgiving.

I decided not to put all the ornaments we have this time around and just keep it simple. We went with ribbons and balls only...plus 4 candy canes that the little one wanted and her little 'countdown' clock that we got last year.

Since the tree is up already, the little one is now bugging us if we can put some decorations outside the house. So far she hasn't been successful in convincing Dad. I don't see that happening though because it takes a lot of work to put up decorations outside the house. Maybe just a wreath on the door will do...
