The evening we decided to set up the tree, we were pleasantly surprised with an unexpected snow shower. Throw in some Christmas candles and Michael Buble and we had the perfect setting for some festive fun.
Sadly, my days of finding 18 ornaments hung on one branch are over. 😭 Tess branched out this year (literally), and found different spots all over the tree for her ornaments. Yes, several of those spots are the very bottom branches, but this year she spaced them out.
Meanwhile, Max was on a mission to hang the highest ornament.
Mission accomplished.
And sure, 70% of the lights on our “pre-lit” tree don’t work anymore, it’s filled with more hand-made/cartoon ornaments than pretty ones, I’m not really sure how I feel about the white faux fur I added throughout the tree, and maybe someone dropped the whole bag of glass icicles on the hard floor…
but we made some fun memories, and that’s all that matters, right?
The next day the kids set up their little trees in their bedrooms, so they have the most festive nightlight.
And I firmly believe you just can’t have too many twinkling lights this time of year.
