"Close Knit Family" Tree, 2008
November 26, 2008
I had originally planned to call our family and Hallmark ornament tree "Traditions". But, when we got to decorating it tonight and putting it up, I ended up putting a collection of miniature sweaters and stockings on the tree. And it dawned on me... This is a family and traditions tree, and I'm using the sweater collection on it. Why not call the tree something really cute like "Close Knit Family" Tree? So, the traditions tree has a new name. :) Mom came up to help me do the ribbon and filler/ting tings. I'm not good with the ribbon. It drives me nuts. Mom is amazing with it. I'm glad she came to help. It was a lot of fun. We decorated trees while Tiffani watched a Rockettes DVD, and earlier when Ryan and I were working this afternoon we turned on Christmas Carols and worked for several hours to those. It was great. :)
Ryan and I worked a long time this morning unloading boxes from the barn with ornaments and trees. I ended up getting 3 trees done today, all of which were major ones I was doing. I got the Woodlands tree done, and our Travel tree is done. I'm happy with everything so far. The Close Knit tree is my favorite though.
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season so far and has a great Thanksgiving tomorrow! More pictures of today's decorating below. Thanks for reading!!
Keeping Christmas In My Heart,

It's the first time I'm writing to you but I couldn't resist after seeing your Close Knit Family Tree. It's quite beautiful! I love how the ribbons flow and I was wondering if you bought or if you create the big bow at the top of the tree. I also have 3 trees at my home and even though they don't have any particular theme, I love them all, especially the big one which is full of memories from past vacations but also with ornements that I bought when my son was a toddler. So, from now on, I think that it will be called my Memories Tree. Anyway, it's great that you're willing to share your love of Christmas with all of us. Lorraine from Quebec
