The Sunday after Thanksgiving was the perfect day to put up the tree. I wish we could have a real tree, but we decided the money to buy a tree could be put to better use this year. Plus, they are pretty messy. A Bath and Body Works "Fresh Balsam" Wall Flower will have to do for the pine scent. (Have you ever smelled it? It's just like a real tree! So yummy!)
This is our 6th Christmas since we've been married and we still haven't purchased a tree topper or a tree skirt. Last year, we made this topper and I love it more than anything we could buy so we'll use it as long as we can!
Mommy untangling lights and looking just fabulous! (sarcasm)
Those boys love having a mini tree to decorate too.
Daddy felt like dancing to the Christmas music and Henry thought it was great!
Jaxon preferred to hang out under the tree for a while.
Yea for Christmas! I can't believe it has been a year since last Christmas!

we still dont have a star for the top of our christmas tree. Its been 3 years now with out a tree topper. We have gone to buy one before but we are too picky. I like yours way better than the store ones. :)
My in laws made their Christmas star the first year they were married and it is still going strong over 30 years later! Love the post!
Thats so cute I need the boys to make one for my tree in the family room. I would so love it. It is the worst to find a tree topper. My Dad had made one when I was young I loved it. It was a star that had lights and blinked. I wish I had it now. But it died of old age.:(
