Christmas Trees

I know I have been a little MIA lately.  I have been so busy with the kids, Thanksgiving & now Christmas.  I thought I would do a post about my Christmas trees.  It's no secret, I love Christmas.  My husband and I joke that I am half human and half elf!  Every year I try and decorate things a little more around the house.  It is hard being on a tight budget, ugh, the down fall of being a 1 income family.  I plan to plug away at it every year but my goal is to someday have a Christmas tree in every room of our house.  We currently have 6!

Since we moved into our new house in 2009, we have been cutting a real tree at Jay's uncle's tree farm.

It was just about bedtime and Shane wasn't feeling up to pictures

This ceramic tree is in our kitchen.  It is extra special to me because my Mom painted it for my grandmother over 30 years ago.  We also had one in our home growing up so it reminds me of my childhood.  When we were cleaning out my grandparents house after they both had passed, I had requested to have it.  I love it! 

 

 

This is the tree in my dining room 

I just got it last year so it is a work in progress.  It is a primitive style tree so it isn't very full.

 

 

Our playroom tree

This was the first tree we had as a family together.  It brings a smile to my face all year round because I don't bother to take it down ;-)
