Our tree decorating is multi-phase. Every year, we each get one new ornament, Everett picked his out this year, he fell in love with the Santa truck! Before Evie goes to bed, we put the new ornaments on the tree with him, and then we read stories and tuck him in. Then Russ and I get to decorate the tree together! We always get a "pasture cedar" so our tree usually has a little "Charlie Brown" attitude, but it fits our little cottage. And every year, Russ asks, "Do we have to put all the ornaments on?" Then when the tree is twinkling and all the ornaments have been hung, we settle into the couch, cuddle up with a glass of wine, and watch Christmas Vacation for the first time of the season.
In all its tilted glory--you can't really see them, but I strung cranberries and buttons into a very cute garland!
These crocheted snowflakes are like the ones my brother teethed on. Thankfully, Evie hasn't ever shown them much interest.
Evidence of our tree's pedigree, even with magical adjustment from Russ, the topper still leans a little!

Evie's high&tight makes him look so much older - I bet he will surprise us over the Christmas break! Your tree is adorable - hope you've corraled the ornament breaking!
