Our First (Fake) Christmas Tree in Dhaka

One thing we have started to miss this time of year is the tree farm in Triadelphia, Maryland.  The kids used to run through the maze of trees searching for the perfect one to cut down.  There is just something about picking out and cutting down your own Christmas tree.  It was always a fun family outing.

Well, since there are no tree farms here, we have to resort to the artificial kind.  No, it's not the same, but you still have to put in almost the same amount of effort to set it up.  Let me show you........

Can you see the excitement in Robbie's
face........and all the tree limbs?

You look like you could use some
help, Dad.

A little greenery here, and  a little
there.......

And behold.....the artificial Christmas
tree!  But wait, it's not done yet.

The kids love adding on the ornaments.

Ta dah!  Our first fake Christmas tree.
It looks pretty real to me!
