Trimming the tree 2009

We started decorating a little early this year! I knew we would be SUPER busy the weekend after Thanksgiving and I didn't want to wait another weekend to get my tree put up. So we started the week before Thanksgiving...it was a week-long project! Dustin got the tree and MANY boxes of decorations down from the attic, and we assembled the tree on Tuesday night. Wednesday night, I spread out the branches... Thursday night, I unpacked and set out all the ornaments and put a FEW on the tree (pictured below)... And finally, on Friday the girls and I finished up the tree and the rest of the house. Whew!! It would not have taken so long, but I wasn't feeling well and was tired from working all day...it got done though!!


My VERY favorite part about decorating the tree is looking through all the ornaments. So many of them have such special memories. I love looking through them and thinking about where or who they came from.

As you can tell from the pile, I just have a random mix of ornaments...and I love it that way!


Again this year, the bottom is a little ornament heavy... and has been rearranged several times already!

Our tree is ornament heavy on the bottom too!

It is fun to look through all our ornaments too, some of them are from when I was little.

I'm loving the pink night gowns...too cute!
