Oh Christmas Tree!

This year we decided to go be brave and use a real Christmas tree!  I fully expected it to be a pain and to never want to do it again.  I have vivid memories of my dad getting extra frustrated and maybe even hearing a few four letter words come out of his mouth when I was a kid and he would be put in charge of setting up the real tree.  Surprisingly it was pretty easy!  We chose a pretty tall one, 10ft or so and love how it looks.  The girls got a kick out of the whole process and Campbell got really into decorating it...Ella slept through the decorating part :)  I think we will continue this tradition of a real tree for years to come.

 Tricky part was getting it straight!
