Our tree this year is filled with handmade pom poms, pinwheels and foam reindeer and is draped with colored lights. Our family tradition is to get a real tree. I love how each year our tree has different character. This year is no exception.
In my POM POM Wreath post I told you about my second born chunking an ornament across the room and me scratching our memorable/sentimental ornaments from going on the tree this year. Here is what we ended up with this Christmas and I must say.....it feels like home!
I made these pinwheels out of scrapbook paper
My kids love them and call them "stars"
No one has attempted to take the "stars" off of the tree! SCORE!
I bought these foam reindeer at Micheal's years ago.
I found them while cleaning out my closet last year
and decided to make them an art project for my first born.
The reindeer were a success!
And because I made so many pom poms.....
the tree is adorned with green and white pom poms
Here are a few pics of our tree.
Simple and Kid Friendly.
Someday we will pull out the sentimental ornaments
but for now.....we will enjoy Christmas
with our children!

I love it! I was so worried about our 9 month old messing with the tree/ornaments but we have been lucky so far (knock on wood!) I can totally see doing something like this in years to come though!
