We had a lot of fun putting our tree up. The boys LOVE it. The loved putting ornaments on and telling us which one is their favorite. Soccer ball for Sam- he thinks it is probably Uncle Brian's favorite too. The snowmen with our names on it are Josh's favorite (but we don't have a Zeke one...). They really like the presents underneath too. As soon as the tree was up Josh said, "Is it Christmas now?" And he asks that question everyday. He also was caught starting to open a present...and was told, if he opens presents before Christmas mommy and daddy will return them and he doesn't get them.
Zeke's favorite thing: Looking at the toy catalog. He sits with it and oh's and ah's- especially at the train page!
For those of you who give us a hard time..Reasons we have a fake tree:
1. We are always gone over Christmas. A real tree would die and make a mess.
2. $$$$ Fake is cheaper! Why waste money every year on something that dies and makes a mess?
3. Easy to put up and the kids LOVE helping with the branches and they branches aren't pokey when they hang the ornaments.
4. Smell you ask? I have candles that smell like real trees
