Man, your family is awesome. I wish the rest of my family was artistic. If/when I have kids, I hope my family will be so creative. I pretty much agree with estrojenn.

You have some seriously good ideas. And your daughter is lucky to have such adventurous parents =] Congratulations, haha. =]

And keep it up!

Great tree idea – much more ‘cat friendly’ than a real tree! Hope you had a good Christmas.

i have friends who are hardcore environmentalists (and artists) – they reuse everything…they made their ‘tree’ out of the green plastic tubs that strawberries come in. they put a light in the middle and decorated it with things they made as a family. it was incredibly beautiful.

and it had so much more meaning than going out and chopping a tree down…and i feel the same about your painted tree. if i ever have children i really want to make sure that i do things like this with them…those are the memories that stay with them for the rest of their lives.

Cirrin – I was thinking about something similar too, maybe finding a few branches in the park and building a bit newspaper tree around it.

Last year money was tight and I didn’t want to spend money on buying a tree so I had my girls make a tree out of construction paper. They had a lot of fun designing the tree itself and then creating paper ornaments for it. My older even made a tiny angel for the top.

I adore the tree idea, it looks great and involves Ari in the decorating more then a regular tree. Very cool idea Caitlin..
Merry X-mas to all three of you. Have a wonderful family holiday..
