Last year we became the users of Mom's artificial tree. While we would all rather have a live tree, we have had a few issue in the past. We have had several fall over and break ornaments. One year we got a rotten tree. It smelled really bad. Thankfully we had bought it at Pikes and they gave us a new one of equal cost for no cost. But, we had to put up tree one, take down tree one, put up tree two and then after the holidays take down tree two. Plus, the appeal of the pre-lit tree was pulling at me. So, we now have an artificial tree that takes about 20 minutes to put up, get straight, have the lights shining, and the star on top!
Jeff was working on the train that runs under the tree. Macie wanted to ride the "daddy yak."
The first night we just got the tree up and the train running. But, we let the kids put the new ornaments we had gotten them on the tree. Macie's is a Minnie Mouse and Carson's is Rocket from Little Einsteins. He plays the song from the show so he loves it. Macie loved trying to hang ornaments up high. We did not like it so much!
The mess that is currently in our living room. Friday, I will get my wreath for above the fire place. It is real so we will get to enjoy to Christmas smell we love.
That's all for now. When I am finished and clean, I will put more pictures up. I am ending with a picture of Macie from Cassie's brithday party. I just think it is darn cute and shows her little personality.

1. I LOVE the pic of Macie. Way too cute.
2. We bought that star for our 2nd tree today, but it is too heavy for our 2nd tree. It's the fake one, but I couldn't figure out how to make it stand up.
3. Tree's in a new location this year. It looks good. You'll see it right when you come in your house.
Guess that's about it. Good luck cleaning tomorrow.
