Nothing fancy. Just a homegrown tree, some white lights and dollar tree ornaments in shades of gold hung by the littles (and a tad rearranged by mama when they weren’t looking). Ten cent plastic ornament. Safer and more durable for kids. Christmas seedling on the windowsill. The kids each have their own tree in their […]
