"Oh(teeny tiny) Christmas Tree"
"Down from the chimney"
I can't help but giggle when I see this picture. For many reasons, we decided to go for a small tree this year (we have TWO cats) and I think it is decorated quite lovely but I didn't anticipate how dwarfed it would be up against our rather large mantle. Then J and I decided that our gift to each other would be the hutch that goes with our TV stand (see right). I absolutely love the hutch and it makes our living room look so much more "homey" and welcoming but our sweet little tree now looks a bit on the dorky side. Oh well, at least there's next year.
On the tree- I am terrible at placing the ornaments on the tree. Apparently I lack the skill of spatial reasoning. All my ornaments tend to be in one spot or I'll have end up with a naked spot and well, it goes on and on. So, my mother, who would give Martha a run for her money, came to visit about the time my tree went up and obviously I let her place the ornaments ....it was perfect...... Fast-forward twelve hours when I came home from school only to discover that our cats had knocked down my mothers creation leaving me to try re-decorate. So there you have it. You can stop making fun of my tree decorating disability now.
On the hutch- If you look closely, you'll notice the big red bow on the top. J won't let me take it off yet because the hutch is technically a Christmas present and well, it's not yet Christmas. He is so cute sometimes...:)
On the decorations- I must give a shout out to Hobby Lobby and their 50% off sale. I was able to scratch my Christmas- time itch without breaking the bank and for this, my husband now loves you more than I do.
