After Friday Night Pizza Night, we got to working on decorating the Christmas tree. When we first brought the tree in, it very quickly became apparent that it was too tall! Thankfully our neighbors had a hand saw that he was able to borrow and cut off part of the bottom. The trunk was also super skinny and so the job of finding some wood to put in the bottom was then put to task. After what seemed a long time (I guess it just seemed long since it was past Elianna's bed time already), the tree was up and the decorating could begin!
Elianna was in charge of getting all the ornaments out. It was so cute to listen to her ooh and ahh and occasionally say "Oh! I remember this one!" As is the tradition, Elianna (with the help of Chris) put the star on the top.
The tree is a bit scraggly and sparse but knowing we cut it down from the wild, helps with the ugliness. To us, it is our beautiful tree we cut down in the middle of the forest (some of us in our slippers).
