1. Find the perfect tree
Finding the perfect tree can be frustrating, but persevere!
2. Run around the lot, to find the perfect tree, because some people's idea of a perfect tree could be exactly like yours. You want to get to it first and see their jealous eyes on you as you are paying an arm and a leg for it. |
3. Take pictures in front of bigger trees that are more
perfect, which you might not have room for in your little house.
4. Take pictures with loved ones.
  |
5. Bring entertainment, so it isn't to boring... |
6. Make sure you bring a car big enough to carry the tree home. As you can see, we almost didn't follow our own advice. We were cutting it close. :)
7. Have enough lights, and make sure they work before stringing them. |

| 9. Take a family picture. |
| And there you have it folks... |

Or, you could do what my lazy self did this year and buy a fake tree for $3 at a yard sale. Your way is much more fun.
ahahah thanks jen for calling me the entertainment. thats like the greatest complamant every. ha
brooke :)
You forgot 'take a big whiff and enjoy the smell of the fresh tree because other people settled on a fake, but bought a tree smelling candle instead' :)
too, too cute! love the family pic in front of the lit tree.
you are such a nice mom to let the kids help decorate. I decorated while Chase was napping and tried to keep the ornaments out of his reach.
I cant believe they are old enough to help with the tree! So cute!
CUTE family picture!! You guys got the perfect little tree!
Thanks for the step-by-step instructions. :) So so cute! You're so lucky to be able to do a live tree in an apartment We were never allowed what with fire codes and all. (Like a fire could ever happen in a place as dry as Utah....)
CUTE! You are my hero. Decorating WITH the kids, as opposed to WITHOUT, which is what I did after Clark went to beddybye last Wednesday.
