Tiny Trees

Daniel had school this morning so Addie and I went to Hobby Lobby to return a picture frame and buy some wrapping paper. The wrapping paper selection was awesome and half off! And that's the problem with Hobby Lobby. On any given week half of the store is 50% off. It's so hard to say no to 50% off. Today was no exception. They had tiny trees, lights and ornaments all on sale. Years ago, the home of a family I know whose decorating sense I covet was featured in a magazine. It showed their house all decked out for Christmas and everything about it was magical. One detail I especially loved was that they put tiny trees in their girls' rooms and let the girls decorate the trees themselves. They were so sweet and hopeful. So after we picked Daniel up we started decorating. The kids loved it and can't wait to set them up in their rooms tonight. And the best part is the rainy day activity potential for these trees. Think of all the paper chains and ornaments we can make...

I love how they pile everything in one spot. Daniel decorated his with cars. Addie with ballerinas; her new passion. Video of Ballerina Addie coming soon...
