We are a Noble Crew

So we got our tree. My husband and I get a real tree, someday maybe we will go fake, as we are pretty frugal. But for now we get a real tree. It is always a noble. I know they tend to cost more than other types of Christmas trees, but we only like NOBLES.
Decorating the past couple of years has been a bit of a chore. We, Joe and I, had to do most everything while managing the kids. This year was so sweetly different. Since our two oldest are five now they actually help, and really want to help, and are careful enough to help. So it was so much more fun.

They kept asking

The whole time we were decorating Christmas music was blaring we were happy and dancing and it was just so cosy. We also went out and put up the decorations and lights outside so we are officially ready for the holiday season.

Even though we have a 2 yr old and a 1 yr old we still put ornaments on the bottom of our tree. But we put the ones that can be played with. The kids love it, hey toys on a tree, that mom lets you play with, what could be cooler. Trenton woke up from his nap just after the tree was decorated and was so giddy. You could tell he wanted to touch it but was wary that he might get into trouble.


He finally approached and pulled off an ornament, a cute little wooden candy cane. He loved it. He has torn almost all the ornaments off what ever section he is working on. Do I care, no way, because I have five year old girls, who are so happy that I gave them the job of putting all the ornaments back on that the kids pull off. They love that Job, even fighting over who gets to put them back up.

It has gotten better each year the kids get older, I don't want the magic to ever end.
