It's Beginning to Look Like Christmas....

So Taryn is in L-O-V-E with Christmas trees! On Thanksgiving Day my siblings put up my mom and dad's tree and then we put up the tree at PaPa's house. She was so excited for Christmas!! She slept in the living room with my mom and dad's tree the rest of the time we were there. I knew I had to get her a tree for her room, luckily Grandma had a 4ft tree she wasnt using so we brought it home. On the way home we stopped at Wal-Mart and let her pick some ornaments herself. She picked just plain silver balls! When we got home she was so excited to put it up and that is just what we did. She then proceeded to sleep beside the tree on the floor in her sleeping bag for the following 2 nights.

The tree isn't decorated the way I would have done it, but I had to relinquish some control and let Taryn decorate her own tree. Here is how it turned out.

This is her favorite ball. She picked it out last year and it dosent match my tree so I was more than happy to let her put it in her room. Ragedy Andy and the minuature Golden Books Ornaments I bought many years ago when I worked at Hallmark.

Here's her little tree in her room. Next year I plan on adding some more color to the tree. Notice all the ornaments are at the bottom of the tree :)

Here are some pics of our big tree in the living room. We just L-O-V-E our tree with all the silver, red and black.

This is the top of the tree. Its hard to tell in the picture but star is metal and a little rustic. I love the big balls nestled into the tree.

One of my favorite ornaments. I got this at a Bunco Christmas party several years ago. I look forward to our ornament exchange every year!!

Every tree needs a little bling bling. I would love to have some more like this one (hint hint)!

This is a picture of one of the big balls that I love. It is also a picture one of the only non-red and black ornamets, but it is one of Cory's milatary ornaments so it ahs to go on the tree!

The inspiration for my tree!!! Got love a Red Raider Tree in desguise.

Here is a complete picture of my big tree. Notice there are very few ornaments near the bottom. That would be because of a very busy 8 month old that loves balls!

Cory and Taryn putting the finishing touches on the tree. They are such gobbers!!!
