We used our Charlie Brown tree this year. For the past few years we've gone out into the forest and gotten one. I'm not talking a tree farm, I'm talking the national forest. We buy a permit, drive on logging roads and come home with a gorgeous tree. It just seemed hard this year for some reason. I'm blaming it on Luke. It's a long car ride, a lot of walking around in the woods in very cold weather....this just seemed easier. Liam was so excited to decorate. I'm calling this his tree this year. All of our collectible ornaments, none of the fancy stuff. Now all Joe needs to do is get some lights up outside and we'll call it good. Being that this is our first Christmas in our new house, he's not sure what his plan is yet. He had lights for our old house down to a science. My vote is just simple and minimal this year. Probably because that means less time outside and more time with him inside helping me with Luke. :)
Off to enjoy my coffee before the babies wake up and my day officially begins..
