Well it is that time of year again--Christmas tree decorating. A few years ago we decided to buy an artificial tree because we (ok, Jamie) was sick of cleaning up pine needles and dealing with the mess of a real tree. After all, buy a few extra candles and it can still "smell" like you have a real tree. In an attempt to save money (i.e. be cheap) our new artificial tree left something to be desired. It made it through a few years ok, but each time we put it up we would groan about how miserable it looked.
Enter this year. Our basement (FINALLY) finished, we decided to let the kids use the artificial tree down there, and decorate it themselves. About 2 weeks ago we started a mission of creating ornaments using perler beads. (Those beads that fuse together when you iron them.) We got this idea from some friends of ours who did this a few years back. Unfortunately they don't live here anymore, but it was great to be able to think of them while we were making them. Thanks Hammetts!
So here are some pictures of the kids decorating the tree and then Drew just messing around with the camera taking silly pics of his sister. My favorite is the shot of Maddi's legs...?? Note, once again, the desire for long hair my daughter must have, as she wore that shirt on her head most of the day.
