Charlie Brown tree hunting

My parents started a really fun tradition with us when we were little. They made each of us kids our own little charlie brown tree. They would cut down the branch, spray paint it a gold, silver or white color and then put it in a basket with some plaster paras to secure it and then decorated it with christmas lights and our own personal christmas ornaments. Each year on Christmas eve my parents would give us an ornament to put on our charlie brown tree...and over the years the collection has grown and I still have all the ornaments from when I was a child. This is a tradition that I defiantly want to pass down to my kids so we set out one afternoon to hunt for our branches so I could make them their own charlie brown trees.

It defiantly was a little chilly outside

We found a branch

Love my boys!

I wish I had taken a picture of the final product of the charlie brown trees....oops!
