Ghetto Christmas Tree


We LOVE being in college and being poor. We think that it makes us more creative and gives us more time to work together to figure out fun and exciting ways to do things. For instance, building a christmas tree stand out of 2 kitchen aid bowls and a vase with a little duck tape and a cookie sheet. There's nothing that a cute tree skirt can't hide:)

Also, how could we forget Darth Vader on the tree!?! I am a simple person and like my tree to look kind of like pottery barn's trees but Jordan insisted that Darth be right in front so that every time we turn on the lights we can hear him breathe and talk... awesome. What ever, I have to pick and choose my battles right? So the other day we found Vance at the tree waiting for us to turn on the lights and we hear him breathing really heavy. Come to find out, he is mimicking Darth Vader's breathing! hahaha! I think Darth will be on the tree every Christmas from now on. Vance loves Darth and this couldn't make Jordan more happy! :)


(Thank you Sandy for this ornament:)
If any of you don't know, Vance does not do textured things. He really hasn't touched the tree because he hates the feeling of the branches. If he goes for Darth or the cowboy boot, he very carefully touches it with two fingers to be sure not to touch the branches. ha ha. This makes the whole christmas tree issue not an issue at all:)


Happy Holidays to you all!

Oh my gosh! I love this! We have the same Darth Vader ornament from when David was in high school or something. I insisted that it be put on the back of the tree, along with the equally large X-Wing Fighter ornament. He loves the sounds that Darth Vader makes when we turn the tree on too, so it had to at least be on there somewhere. What can you do? :)

And Vance is getting so big! I miss you guys!
