This past weekend we bought ourselves a fake Christmas tree. It just made sense for our family since we tend to travel for the holiday and do not want a fire hazard left behind while we're gone. The great thing is that these artificial trees nowadays are being sold pre-lit! Score! The downside is that we now have an enormous box to store all year. I should also mention that it is quite heavy too, Ryan and I made quite a spectacle of ourselves trying to manuver the big-o-box into the cart at Costco. Thankfully a friendly employee helped out (**note to self: I really need to start working on my upper body strength next time I go to the gym).
So, Saturday night I pulled down the few boxes of decorations and let the kids decorate the tree. I have since pulled out a few other decorations and placed them around the house. I feel a song coming on........It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas.......

Very nice tree :) Your kiddos look like they are loving it!
We also have a fake tree. It is showing some wear after 6 years adn 3 moves. It is still o-kay, but not as pretty as it used to be. Maybe a prelit one is in order!
Gotta love Costco! and so friendly!
The kids helping decorate is so stressful to me. We do it together, but while they think it's wonderful mommy needs some muscle relaxants!
Fun! I love those pre-lit trees and swear we'll get one some day. This year we're going out of town so we're skipping a big tree all together so we just have our wee 2-foot tall one decorated, and out of reach of curious hands this year!
So fun! Pre-lit trees are just genius!
