O Christmas Tree

Thanksgiving weekend we decorated the tree. Every year we each hang up our name ornaments - a tradition started when we got married. Also every year we order ornaments from Bronners Christmas Wonderland in Frankenmuth, Michigan. We used to go in person when we lived up there, but now it is online ordering! This year, Scott's ornament was an Ipod (since he finally got one), mine a laptop (since I got my computer this year), Max a football (since he played for the 1st time), Megan an art palette (need I say more), and Mia music notes (she took her 1st music class). On top of those we have 2 ornaments from Disney. Mickey Ears and the Castle. This year the kids were having fun trying to remember which ornaments are from what year.

The kids had a great time putting it up and so far (fingers crossed) Mia has yet to be interested enough to pull anything off. We also made a kids tree upstairs for them with their handmade ornaments. That one we don't care about and they can pull anything off they want to!

Megan had the honor of hanging up Santa this year

Thanks for the referral to the ornament store. We need some new ones, and sometimes Hobby Lobby just doesn't cut it. Off to do some shopping now!
