christmas tree.

Wednesday, November 30, 2011

on saturday we fell in love
with a tiny christmas tree at eastern market.
so we brought her home to camp out
in our living room for the next month or so.
she's very colorful and sparkly.
eleanor can't stop reaching for her and giggling.

merry christmas!

After 'fluffing' the second christmas tree last night, I told my husband, once the lights on these prelit trees die, we are so going back to getting a real tree. No fluffing needed!

Christa aka The BabbyMama said...

I remember the Babby's first Christmas tree, all decked out with the least breakable ornaments (on this year's tree, too). We decided to go for faux because we were (are) still afraid of her pulling it over.

cleverlikewhoa said...

WONDERFUL!!! Her eyes lit up in the first picture? Magical

Haute Eyes said...

Glad you found a keeper!! Looks great!

So jealous of your real Christmas tree! My boyfriend has deemed a real tree too much of a fire hazard for our old, old house. :( I miss the smell of them.

I'm loving the trees at Eastern Market. It's like a mini forest has sprung up in the middle of our urban neighborhood. :)

I love Eleanor's sparkly eyes. She is an absolute beauty. What an adorable family you have. I love your sweet inspiring blog. I have a 10 month old little boy. Maybe one day they can meet and fall in love? Im sure it would work out swimmingly. :)
