Play by the rules

In the Neumann house there are two rules that we stick to when it comes to our Christmas tree..
1. It HAS to be real. No fake trees here.
2. It must be disproportionally large for the room that we put it in. We don't ever get the tree that would fit just right. We get the tree that is way to big for our house and takes up half the room.
Consequently in the process of stuffing the tree in our house, half the pine needles ended up on the floor. When we tried to vacuum up those pine needles our vacuum got clogged and broke. Two hours later and with our vacuum in pieces Justin had successfully gotten the needles out.
The next night (since it was now almost midnight) we got to decorate the tree!!! Camden put his own ornament on.
And was pretty proud of himself

You two are so much fun! Our tree is three feet tall and fake. We clearly don't have any strict rules just yet!

Camden is such a cutie!

We are so right there with you on the no fake trees rule. And we don't mess around when it comes to lights...we may have used 10 strands.
