Trimming the tree...

Well, we decorated the Christmas trees without a single ornament being broken. However, some candy canes found their way into little mouths. Do candy canes go bad?? I've used the same ones on my tree for several years.

First, the living room tree!! The ornaments that are breakable have been moved a bit higher, due to the fact that Juliet is very curious. I took this from the side because I could lean on the table for a steady hand. It looks better from the front. Anyhoo, you get the idea.

Maxine and Jack's tree is pieced together branches leftover from the stump. I used about 10 zip ties and voila!! Maxine was skeptical that it could look good until I broke out the icicles. Half a box later, she kept gooing at how beautiful her tree was!!

Hee hee. I think it kind of looks like a star fish. We went to family dollar and got some cheap, plastic balls and star ornaments to hang (not pictured.) I think it works well. They seem to think it's fun too!!
