One of my son's favorite holidays is Easter (behind Christmas & Halloween) & he really likes getting out the Easter decorations each year. One thing that we do every year is create our own Easter tree. The pics I posted are of Cameron with last year's tree in the background & then, a pic of this year's (better) tree. I have a small collection of mini-Easter ornaments & we make our own Easter tree to hang them on. We usually go outside & hunt for the perfect bare tree branches that will become our little tree. Cameron likes going out with me to find the branches & collect rocks for the base. The last couple of years we used a clear vase with small rocks in the bottem to steady the branches & to be decorative. We used to paint the branches a pastel or white color but, to make it easier, we just leave them au natural now. Then we hang the little ornaments on the little branches & step back in awe to view our little tree. It's the little things, you know?
