Spiller Snapshot!: The Sentimental Tree

For the past 6 years, we've put up our large Christmas tree (fake of course) in our den. We've adorned it with lights, ribbon and beautiful ornaments. A picture straight from Martha Stewart magazine! The first few years we had "the big tree", we would set up a smaller tree (fake of course!) elsewhere in the house (usually upstairs in the game room) and put the "sentimental" ornaments on it. That tradition somehow got lost in the bustle of the season, and soon the kids were putting up tiny trees (fake of course!) in their rooms with their "special ornaments"

Feeling a bit nostalgic I guess, this year I decided it was time to bring "The Sentimental Tree" back. It got set up right in the living room downstairs where we could see it everyday. The kids decorated it with their "special ornaments". It beats the Martha Stewart tree anyday!

Christmas 1995....Hard to believe they were ever that small!
