O, Christmas Tree 2010

Our family's history as related to Christmas tree picking provides our extended family and friends with ammo to pick on us. But to this day I stand strong, emphasizing that our christmas tree's ooze with character and artistic creativity. And I love it.
But this year, after the 30' tree and the five-branched-charlie-brown tree, we decided to send the kids out one their own to see if they could do any better. (ok. maybe not completely alone. thanks, opa and oma, for your kind supervision).

and, of course, they totally showed us up.

and came home with a perfect, pint-sized fir. and then decorated such pint-sized fir...can you tell who had the honors? (it looks great, honey. you tried really hard. it's not your fault the ornaments jumped onto the branches directly in front of you.)

dance, baby, dance! The joy of decorating a christmas tree.

Adalynn contemplated...

Can one wear lights and sparkle all the time? What about a little hunter green backpack? A nice little headlamp for nighttime navigation?

Huh. Tree as a headlamp? Might be counterproductive.

Its perfect! We would like to get together - sorry, last monday I had a tiny surgery on my toes so I was staying off my feet most of last week. But we are free this Friday or any day next week except Wed.
