We are just going to put the soft ornaments on the bottom, that we don't mind him grabbing. We have a fake tree now anyway.

Now that takes more enginuity than anyone in this household has! The tabletop we can do, it will be our likely choice. And Leah don't you know I have a pine scented candle burning? Though Luke asks me every ten minutes if he can blow it out. <BR/><BR/>Kristen, great to see you guys too. Hope your interview went well and that it will bring you to Wilmington!Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866578684190564024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201489281610922146.post-1614599858411655772007-11-26T11:35:00.000-05:002007-11-26T11:35:00.000-05:00Hey Stacy,How about a tree scented candle?Loved th...Hey Stacy,<BR/><BR/>How about a tree scented candle?<BR/><BR/>Loved the picture of the boys. <BR/><BR/>LeahMatthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04124905626789278614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201489281610922146.post-66084967964993097312007-11-25T23:11:00.000-05:002007-11-25T23:11:00.000-05:00Hi Waldens!When my kiddos were little, we used a s...Hi Waldens!<BR/><BR/>When my kiddos were little, we used a small artificial tree on top of the corner table in our living room. It was strung with one set of tiny white lights and decorated by the kids with a theme in mind (stars, animals). The tree became their display area and they were thrilled! The presents were placed under the tree in time for opening on Christmas morning. Until then - the closet! I also know of a family that hung their small fake tree from the ceiling in a corner and decorated it there. It was out of the way of everyone, including climbing pets!<BR/><BR/>Hope this helps! Happy decorating!<BR/><BR/>Tina<BR/>mom of 5 (first 3 in 3 years)Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16082390399003555106noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201489281610922146.post-49777538292311794652007-11-25T23:00:00.000-05:002007-11-25T23:00:00.000-05:00He he!

Luke is such a sweetheart even when he's showing off :) We loved having some playtime with Will; His smile and laughter are so contagious. We only saw a little of Timothy but he's a cutie. Of course we also loved catching up with you and James. If we move to Wilmington we will be much closer and can hopefully even find a time to come visit Crossroads.Kristen Tripletthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08235738989331083042noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201489281610922146.post-19741579606586046632007-11-25T09:06:00.000-05:002007-11-25T09:06:00.000-05:00haha, now that is something I had not thought of!...haha, now that is something I had not thought of! appreciate the idea.:) And no "thanks" necessary on the rr button. i have been following your story and pray aleksa makes it home to you soon.Stacyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05866578684190564024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8201489281610922146.post-54252973132873224642007-11-24T22:32:00.000-05:002007-11-24T22:32:00.000-05:00I usually read in google reader so I was happy to ...I usually read in google reader so I was happy to see your Reece's Rainbow button when I clicked to comment :) THANKS!!<BR/><BR/>Oh yeah, my point? A friend of mine put her whole Christmas tree in a big square playpen. YEP, the entire thing! One of those "old fashioned" kind that don't fit through the doorways that you can find at a second hand store cheap :) Might keep the boys out for a LITTLE while anyway! <BR/><BR/>MeredithMeredithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07974293935380325338noreply@blogger.com
