Our Christmas Tree...
After Christmas in 2007, Joel and I decided we needed a bigger tree. Our current one was only 6 1/2 ft. tall, and we have a living room with 14-ft. vaulted ceilings. So, we hit up the sales. We found a gorgeous 9-ft. tree. It didn't look that big on display, so we decided to buy it. It would be perfect with our tall ceiling.
Well, when we got it home and put it up the next year, we didn't know where we would put it - it was HUGE! We grossly underestimated its size when it would be in a room with our other furniture. After a couple of years of being cramped, I think this year we've finally figured out what works best.
This year, I let the girls decorate the tree first. They were so excited, especially Grace. This is what they came up with...
All of the ornaments were in one area, and just their height... too cute! :-)
After some rearranging, I got the tree to look like this...
Despite it's size, we love our tree and wouldn't have it any other way. :-)
