When I was a kid, I always wanted my very own Christmas tree in my room. To be able to decorate however I wanted. You know, all pink and purple with girly stuff and things that shine and twinkle. It would be all mine.
And then as I got older, it was kind of my dream to wake up one morning during Christmas time to a tree in my room. A surprise that someone had brought me in the night. Something that would happen in a movie.
Well… I decided, my kiddo needed his own tree. In his own room. Decorated how he wants. (Ok, there were a few ground rules, I mean c’mon, I need a little control of the situation.) I already had the tree and all it needed was decorations. And what kind of tree would he like?… a dino tree. So we’ve been working on decorations for it for a couple weeks. Most of them are homemade. Some glow in the dark. And it’s coming along nicely. I wish it had a string of dino lights, but alas I couldn’t find any. ANYWHERE. Maybe next year.
And maybe next year will surprise him by putting it up while he sleeps. Just like in the movies.
