O, Christmas Tree

We have 3 Christmas trees up at our house. We usually put our trees up before Thanksgiving just so we can enjoy them longer. This year was no exception.

I've never really had a problem with Madelyn bothering the tree. She mostly just likes to look at them. She is extremely excited about all the lights and decorations.

Here she is posing with her tree. I call it the "Charlie Brown" tree because it is so small and sparse. The ornaments really help to make it look better.




This is the tree in my foyer. I usually only have clear lights, but this year, for fun, we decided to use colored lights on one of our trees. The other trees are decorated in reds and golds, but this one is more of a sentimental tree. It has all our keepsake ornaments on it. I haven't done a very good job of buying special ornaments, but it is never too late to start a tradition. I am going to start getting a couple of special ornaments for Madelyn every year of something that she is interested in. This year I am looking for Mickey and Dora.
The picture isn't very good, but this tree also has a lot of pink ornaments on it. I also have a pink angel and pink Santa Claus sitting on the tree skirt. Pink has always been a favorite color, so I had to have some pink Christmas decor.

Last, but not least, this is the tree in my living room. Be sure to see my post below for pictures of Madelyn decorating it. I really like how all my trees look, and I am very excited for Christmas this year. This will be Madelyn's third Christmas, but it will be the first year she will know what is going on. I love to see her face light up when she stares at the trees. Christmas has always been a special holiday for me, but it will be especially so this year.




I pray everyone has a Merry Christmas!
