The tree decorating fun began on Friday after school. I made a special snack. I used Santa and tree picks (Target) for the fruit, and I dipped pretzels in melted red and green chocolate and then sprinkled them (before the chocolate hardens) with crushed candy canes and sprinkles.
C and R decorated the little trees with stickers and then moved on to this tree:

| This is still a work in progress, but I love it so far.
Next, they decorated the little trees they have for their bedrooms.

Finally, on Saturday morning, C and R went with Dad to pick out a real tree. We left it in the garage over night and decorated it on Sunday morning.
We read
Little Tree, poem by e.e. cummings, story and paintings by chris raschka. The poem is a tribute to a tiny Christmas tree, and it inspired this lovely story about a little tree that dreams of holiday stardom. We own this book because I fell in love with it a few years ago and knew it was a book we had to own.

I'm finding out about all sorts of dollar aisle crafts I need to get. This looks like so much fun.
I love it! We have been in Iowa and haven't put a tree up yet...but we are having fun with our friends and all of their trees! :)
That snack looks super tasty!! The window tree is looking great! Love your real tree too :-)
I LOVE the window tree!!! We have some little craft foam trees to decorate - I need to remember to pull them out!
I love the tape tree on the window - what a good idea!
Clever tree!!
The window tree is a brilliant idea! I have to see if I convince Lars to do it too. Your real tree looks awesome too.
Your tree decorating treats are so creative. They turned out great--so festive.
I love all of the trees they decorated. What a fun weekend.
