Since we were planning on going to Hurricane for Thanksgiving this year we decided to decorate our trees a bit early this year. We figured that we better do it sooner than later because we were going to be gone from December 6th to the 14th on a Family Vacation to the Caribbean. I wanted to have all our decor out before we left so I wasn't stressed after we got back in putting things out. I also think its nice to celebrate the Christmas season for as long as you can! This year I finally got to have my very own tree to decorate the way I wanted and I think it turned out splendid. I love seeing the tree I decorated in our formal living room and I don't have to worry about the kids rearranging the ornaments.
This year was also the first year that the kids got to decorate their very own tree. Last year, I got them an ornament for each year since their birth and told them that they could decorate their tree with them. We have decided to get them a new ornament each year. The ornaments we got the kids this year were a snowy white owl with glasses for Kaleb since he likes Harry Potter and got glasses and Karmindy a pretty pink cupcake since she loves to help bake in the kitchen. The kids were thrilled with their new ornaments and loved decorating their tree the way they wanted. I also love the kids tree because we can put up all their cute ornaments they have made over the past few years at school! We can't wait til Christmas to get here!
