Foxy Little Tree

So you saw that we went to the tree farm and cut down 
a tree for our living room, but what I didn't show you
is that I went out and bought a cheapo little tree, 
and have it sitting on our kitchen table.
I named him Ted.
Ted the tree.

Ted pre-ornaments.
And yes that is a Thanksgiving tablecloth....
Shhhhhh!

Ted, in fact, is the only real 
Christmas decorations that we have up to date 
(procrastinate much?).

My original plan for the Ted was to take the
well loved and mismatched ornaments that we own,
and give them a new home.
That didn't happen.
I got a little excited and went out and bought some
new ornament that match absolutely nothing in our house.

I don't care though -
You wanna know why?
Cause they're super cute.

I visited Target and in their dollar bin found your 
normal run of the mill ornaments.
But then I had to go deeper in to the store 
and search a little more.
Bad idea!
Let's say I was only $3 in at the front of the store,
and by the time I left Target - I was out over $30.

I fell in love with some little glass Fox ornaments.
They were so bright and cute, and they
just called my name and somehow 
they ended up in my basket.

Wanna see?
Ted mostly decorated - 
I just need a tree topper
that won't topple the tree.
(Say that 3 times fast)

A little closer.

As close as I can get.

Sorry for the poor quality,
but my good camera hates dim lighting.
You get the idea though.

So what do you think?
Should I just stick with the big tree,
or do you think Ted is a cute little addition?

I think Ted is precious!! What cute ornaments on Ted. Why would anyone need a big ole tree when Ted does the job and doesn't take up much space?? Is Ted one that y'all can plant in the yard later? AA

Why thank you Anne. Ted was born from a box and has plastic branches, so all I have to do is store him away and pull him out again next year. He's definitely much easier to decorate than the big trees.
