Oh Christmas Tree!

For the past 3 years or so we've done the Griswold Family Christmas thing and made the trek up to the mountains with friends to get our Christmas tree. Some years are better than others as far as trees go, but it's always a great time! This year the tree was by far the worst we've ever had. Ash was SO done with the experience by the time we made it up to the top (should have gone after nap time) and so we just kind of grabbed a tree that we figured would work. Did I mention that I everything was covered with a really icy snow that wouldn't shake off so we couldn't really see what our tree looked like!?! But.... the bottom looked really nice. After Thanksgiving we had our tree stand all ready in the corner of our living room expecting a nice pretty tree, that wasn't what we got....



I was feeling a bit sassy and asked if we needed a tree stand or a vase. Micah swore that he had a plan and so the tree makeover began.

Micah brought in the drill and started drilling holes to transplant the pretty branches that were from the bottom of the tree that we lost when we cut this guy down to size.

So she's not the prettiest but that's quite a makeover! Move over Martha...we even craft our Christmas trees!
