Back in September I mentioned that we were thinking about getting a second Christmas tree so we could have one in our family room in the basement. We figured that when the right tree crossed our paths, we'd go for it. Our preferences were: not too tall (we don't have any vaulted ceilings in our house, so 7.5' is as tall as we can go), not too wide, pre-lit, easy to put up and take down, and bonus points if it's flocked.
Sam's Club had the perfect tree, but every time I went there, it was out of stock. Then one day, they suddenly had four, so I snagged one! It's a pre-lit, 7.5' beautifully flocked specimen. That, of course, meant I also had to buy decorations for it!
I set the tree up last Thursday night and let my girls decorate it. Then I waited patiently for Monday to roll around so I could take it apart and re-do it. I'm a Christmas tree control freak, and I wanted to add ribbon, which I hadn't purchased yet.
I blame my grandma.
Anyway, yesterday was the only day my kids had school this week, so I got the tree done while there were no little helpers. Eva was home, but I distracted her with Mario Kart.
