We love Christmas time around our house. I love having the overhead lights off and just the tree lights on to light up the rooms. There is just something calming and relaxing about Christmas tree lights. We typically have four or five trees up in our house each year. It takes time putting them up and the dreadfulness of taking them down, but we sure do enjoy them while they are up. Here is our craft tree that sits in our breakfast area right off of our kitchen area. It use to go in our dining room, but we see it so much more here around the table that we eat at each night. This tree is special becuase it holds all of Emma and Landon's crafts they have made over the years from our house, daycare, and even at school. It also holds a lot of stuffed snowmen that I use to collect.
Here is our one and only real Christmas tree and it is our main tree that sits in our foyer/living room area. It holds the ornaments we buy for Emma and Landon each year. They both get a special monogrammed and dated ornament each year that they will one day take with them when they move out on their own. This tree also hold special ornaments from places we have traveled or just ornaments that we see, love and, decide we want to add to this tree. It holds a lot of religious ornaments about the real meaning of Christmas.
Here is Emma's bright pink tree. She has ornaments on here that she has picked out over the years. They represent what she has liked in the past and currently likes as far as characters and such.
Here is Landon's tall and skinny tree. Like Emma's, his holds ornaments that he has picked out over the years that describe his likes and interests in things and characters
. And lastly is our Georgia Bulldog tree that is in our extra bedroom turned media room. It holds all things Georgia related. Every now and then we will grab another ornament to add to this tree.
I love reminiscing about the different ornaments each year as they go on the tree. They take me back down memory lane to the time and place where each one was purchased or received and the special meaning behind each one.
