Our First Real Christmas Tree

The last time that I had a real tree I think I was maybe 10 or so. Probably younger, mom would be able to tell you. Rob really wanted a real tree. We actually haven't had a tree at all for the last few years. Rob had to go out on his own and get it since I am still disabled. He took Reid with him and went out. He ended up at Lowe's getting one. It was really hard to pick out the tree on his own with Reid with him, but I think he did a great job.
Here are the kids sitting in front of the tree before it was decorated. The kids are very excited to come downstairs everyday and turn the lights on. So far we have no broken ornaments. We have the tree in our front room and it is gated so we can keep the kids out. They can gaze at it from the kitchen.

I put all unbreakable ornaments on the bottom of the tree. Here they are sitting in front of the tree posing and yelling Merry Christmas. This year will be fun!!
