We got our live tree over the weekend. Such a big decision. . .
Our live tree is always a big free-for-all. The kids grab ornaments left and right and there’s no rhyme or reason except to stuff as much as we can on it, including every paper and popsicle stick ornament ever made. Somehow, I always love the way it turns out :)
