Yesterday I went and bought our Christmas tree at Target. I picked out this one because it was the right size for our apartment. So last night I decorated it with lights, tinsel, and a few ornaments. I only wanted to put a few ornaments on because I did not want the boys playing with a few of them. You see my Mom and my Grandma have given me an ornament every year since I was born. That is right I have 33 years worth of ornaments. Now they have added the boys so they get ornaments as well. I could fill up two or three trees with the ornaments I have.
The boys loved the tree. Big Cubby was in awe of it. He did not want to stop looking at it. Today he told me that our Christmas tree was perfect. He is right. It may not be big but it is ours.
Christmas is all ready wonderful and we have several weeks to go.

My mom gave me an ornament every year too, now I have so many I don't know what to do with them all! It's great to see your son 'getting' the Christmas spirit. Too many kids would have complained. I think it's lovely. And it's yours, which is all that matters!
Ah, you know your doing it right when everything is perfect in the eyes of your kids.
Great post.
I have started doing that with my kids too. Started when they were born.
I swear...
Everyone has their tree up but me.
You are so on top of things!
I am sure mine won't be up til Christmas Eve!
