Christmas Tree '08

This is our Christmas tree this year. We decided to go back to the fake this year. Loved the real tree, until it was time to get rid of it and get the sap off the hardwood floors! In this first picture, if you notice the stocking holders (the two snowflakes and SANTA)....well "curious" AJ pulled two of those big, heavy stocking holders on his head Monday (at the same time). Let's just say he proved just how hard his head really is. He barely had as much as a bump on his head - and they are heavy!

Also, after several ornament casualties, we have moved our ornaments up a bit. The bottom of the tree is kind of bare - but curious Andrew strikes again. We had already put all of the boys "special" ornaments that they choose every year higher up. I guess I will hit the after-Christmas sales and try and get some good deals on ornaments. Or pay full price next year. I have a feeling when Christmas is done, we will have few ornaments left!

I really want to do a big, fancy, close to over-the-top tree, but for some reason the boys don't go for it and I don't want to spend a lot of money on something they will destroy :(

Maybe one day!
