Carrie Underwood’s Young Sons Help Pick Out Christmas Trees
When Carrie Underwood was growing up in Oklahoma as a kid, her parents opted for an artificial tree, but now that’s she’s a mom, she does things differently.
Carrie shared, “We were an artificial tree family growing up. It was easier, you know, but now in our own home, we do the real tree thing, and we kind of try to make that a little bit of a tradition. We go, and we pick it out. The boys have some say in which one we get, and they feel some ownership, and we all decorate it together and of course, have Christmas music playing in the house.”
Trees aren’t the only fresh scent in the house at Christmas time as Underwood adds, “I make cookies that were my husband’s grandmother that my kids call Gigi. It’s her recipe, her ginger snap cookies, and we make those, and it’s super sweet. Isaiah loves to make Gigi’s cookies because he still remembers her a little bit. So, it’s something special we get to do.”
