Last year Rob bought us a new Christmas tree from Dillards at their after Christmas sale. We have really high ceilings in our house so he bought a 9’ tree. I traveled to Casper for a conference a week and a half ago. Hobby Lobby had all their Christmas ornaments on sale at 50% off, so I bought lots. As soon as I got home from my trip I decided to put up the tree. It took a few hours, but it felt so good doing it. And I am so happy because the tree looks beautiful! This is the first year in a long time that I have had real ornaments on my tree. Don’t worry - I bought all plastic and “shatter-proof” ornaments. In years past we just decorated our tree with teddy bears because Dalin had broken a lot of our ornaments and I had thrown all our glass ones away. I had Dalin help me decorate our new tree in hopes it would help him take ownership in it. I am hoping that he will enjoy looking at the tree, remember how much fun we had decorating it and somehow not feel the desire to destroy it.
