Oh Christmas Tree...

Last year we bought a new tree. Our old tree was small, sparse, and had a few broken limbs. Some were broken by our cat, Thomas aka Moosie, and some were broken by our daughter, aka Ava. I really love our new tree, but it is quiet large for our small house. When we bought it we thought we would only be in this house for one more Christmas (last year), but thanks to the housing market, we are still here in our little bungalow.

(Because of little hands, there are no ornaments on the bottom of the tree.)

Anyway....decorating this year was a lot of fun. Ava helped me with the garland and the candy canes. I put on the ornaments, and Rob put the bow on the top. Poor Blake, he was already in bed, but he can help next year.

Here are some of our ornaments:

(An ornament bought in Hawaii right after we got married.)

(A small mailbox, to keep secret letters to Santa. Made by my Aunt in the early 80's)

(Go Dawgs!)
