A homemade Christmas

Holidays in my home growing up were filled with real Christmas tree's, evergreen and flocked.  Mom always did flocked with some pretty colored lights and Grandma and Grandpa Losee always did evergreen with red, gold, green, and blue lights.  That was Christmas to me.  When Mr. Ace and I got married he informed me that Christmas was "green, red, and white" and seeing as he is not really Mr. opinionated and he was forming an opinion on this matter I succumbed.  I am happy I did Christmas has been white lights with red and green accents on a "fake" tree.  And a gorgeous one might I add.  I have loved this tree and it currently sits our front window.
but...
This year I got a hair brain idea to do a homemadeish tree
live evergreen with white lights
popcorn garland
German felt ornaments
and 
candy canes



 Even popped the popcorn fresh
(never done it before... pretty cool!)
At this point.. 3 hours later if I had to look at another pop of corn I was going to go crazy!
I though oh Cash and Grace and I can all sit and string the corn together...
Real funny pulled out the first needle and thought to myself that will not be a good idea.
Grace + Needle = No Bueno!

Cash was a champion candy cane hanger

Ms. G was a little grouchy till she dropped a candy cane and got a taste.  
She was in cane heaven. 
What a hoot!
