Victor, I love the view of the tree looking up. I always have to lay under my tree at least once during Christmas.
We're in the process now of doing the family tree, my hubby and son did a 'man' tree in my son's room-fire trucks, motorcycles and race cars.
My daughter's room has a mini tree with mini ornaments.

Thomaston, CT

Oooh--cute ideas! My 2 yr old grandkid showed me their tree yesterday---a huge concolor fir---told me she put all the lights on! I'll bet she was in bed before DS & DIL tackled one thing! Having a 3, 2, & 7month old (Who can pull himself up & walk holding onto furniture) does not make for happy decorating---just like the kitties, Victor! I babysat at the farm for 4 hours yesterday, & believe me, putting them in the basement sounded like a great idea! Or hiding out there myself!

You are soooo right, RD. We have 3 around the corner 1, 2 1/2 and 4. I know exactly how you feel about going in the basement. But we know we wouldn't trade it for anything. I usually need a nap if I have them all as well as my mom.
Will miss them at Christmas. They are going to the other grandparents in KY.
Mom has a little tree in her room that will suffice for this year. I'm having a hard time getting motivated to decorate.

Thanks, Jen. Yes, Robin, kids present the same problems!

Thomaston, CT

Sorry you will miss the kids at Christmas, Jan---we are having Christmas breakfast at the farm with them, then in the afternoon, my cousin takes about 14 of us to the Mayflower Inn in Washington, CT--that's like a 5 star place, where you see famous people, but I'm so busy chasing the kids, I usually only get to see the sunporch! Last year I had such a headache, I ordered a vegetarian plate--best thing I ever did! I may do the same this year!
