Last year we went to a local nursery and found our perfect tree. This year we opted for our 4 ft. Fake tree that we could put up on the end table so a little someone would have a harder time destroying it. I found this quote that fit perfectly: “Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.”
Owen was really into trying to rip off all the ornaments the first week, but now it's lost its luster, or maybe it's because there are no decorations on the bottom foot of the tree any longer???
Liam did a great job as you will see! I can't believe how big he's getting.
I was sad that it wasn't going to be the smell of pine throughout my house this year, not as sad that I wasn't going to have to vacuum up the needles every day and thinking we saved ourselves some serious carpet cleaning since I know Owen would have figured out there was water in the base; currently his favorite thing to do is find a toilet seat that has been left open and go swimming with his hands up to his shoulders at ANY chance he gets.
SO I think we'll stick to this tree for the next few years till Captain Destructo finds it a little less intriguing.
