I have a mini tree (half the lights won't come on this year though) and I put all the ornments that my son and I make on that one. The big tree has an assortment of all kinds of ornaments. There's about 15 ornments on the floor at any given time though since my daughter thinks it's her job to pull off the ones she can reach. I've thought about putting a small tree in each of their rooms (when they are older) and letting them decorate that any way they want.Amy Johttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084271044740867356noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-54387746591090534822008-12-09T14:00:00.000-05:002008-12-09T14:00:00.000-05:00It's the handmade memories that are my favorites. ...It's the handmade memories that are my favorites.

Being the perfectionist that I am, I always try to "hide" the kids ornaments so that my tree will look "perfect", but of course your husband is right. :) I will try to quit obsessing and just let everyone enjoy the holiday.

I didn't used to even really like it when people gave me ornaments as gifts because they didn't go with my tree.<BR/><BR/>I've gotten over it too. :)<BR/><BR/>Because now we have a BOATLOAD of kids' ornaments on the tree. Macaroni ones and construction paper ones, and I'm sure a paper plate or two on there somewhere. And now the tree seems somehow naked and not alive without them.<BR/><BR/>And when they grow up and want to take their ornaments with them to their OWN tree, I am not sure I am going to let them! :)Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06248921762024182689noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-82773470167482707622008-12-02T09:29:00.000-05:002008-12-02T09:29:00.000-05:00ha! ok, little "h" loves it!!Leigh-NCha! ok, little "h" loves it!!<BR/><BR/><BR/><BR/>Leigh-NCeetomosthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14886221515229390349noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6080789300460674006.post-59523066543542054322008-12-02T09:23:00.000-05:002008-12-02T09:23:00.000-05:00I think it is so cute.
