Yesterday we got our tree.

| From Wal-Mart. We're ghetto like that. And frugal. $28 for a six-footer. I think it was a good deal. |
I know one little boy who loves it already.
Guess what else? I made a wreath.
Took me ages and ages to wrap all that yarn. And I think I used the wrong kind of wreath form--it was straw, and thus kind of lumpy under just a layer of yarn. Apparently they have foam ones too. But it was fun and I think it is cute in an imperfect sort of way. Violet really really wanted me to put the berries on the top, sticking straight up. Luckily I talked her out of that.
We are also doing this Santa beard as our advent calendar.
What traditions are you doing for Christmas this year?
What a beautiful tree! Isn't that way cheap for a 6 foot tree? Dang, I want a good Christmas tree! :)
ReplyDeleteSuper cute wreath and advent calendar! I love that we have a farmer's market type place that sells Christmas trees for $20. 4 foot to 7 foot or taller. Whatever size you want it's all just a flat price. We're close to the Oregon border and they get them somewhere from Oregon.
ReplyDeleteThe older your kids get I think Violet totally looks like Dan and Luke looks like you. (I'm sure you get that a lot) Not sure about Ivy yet.... but they're all adorable!
