O Christmas Shrub, O Christmas Shrub

by Erin

In an effort to get into the holiday spirit, save money, and get rid of a shrubby eye-sore in our backyard, we converted a shrub to a Christmas tree.

Here's my lumberjack-ish husband cutting it down.   I almost missed out on the picture because he did it so quickly.  Studly. 


Later that night, we trimmed it.  I had three strands of lights, a collection or ornaments (thanks Mom), and some slightly tacky garland tucked away in my Christmas decor box (it hadn't been opened in probably 8 years).  Perfect.  Here's Max transitioning to his more artistic side. There's Penny doing what she does best.  Nothing.  
 

And here's our pretty shrub.


Now I've got to use Leslie's winter pom pom tutorial and get some presents wrapped and under the tree!
