Real Tree Pictures; As Promised.

The real tree has been adorned. So pretty. :)

Madeline's Charlie Brown Tree

So the story goes, as we went this evening to pick out our Christmas tree, Madeline was walking with her grandparents, and decided to pick up a tree the size of her and truck it around. The Tree selling man took Madeline over and made her a little tree she could take home for free.

It was a pathetic little thing, but she loved it instantly. Now that it is decorated and in her bedroom, I have to tell you, with the "Poor Little Christmas Tree" song playing on the radio, I was almost moved to tears.

Her tree, even if it is only a cutting pushed into a bit of a stump, is gorgeous, and really has brought out the Chrismas Spirit in our house.

Note: Once our branches have settled on our tree and it is decorated I will post pictures. It's very pretty too, but I think it just might pale in comparison to Madeline's Charlie Brown Tree. It just looks so proud to be lighting up a little part of a five year old's childhood.

One tree down, one to go.

We decided this year to do two trees, one because we have set it up every year since we bought it, and the other because we wanted a real tree this year. Tomorrow we will get the real one. But here's the colorful one set up now. :)
