For Kris


Since one of my very best bloggy buddies asked, here’s a pic of our tree. What we lack in expensive decorations, she makes up for with her magestic presence. Too bad Christmas trees have to die. We used to be against real Christmas trees, we felt like it wasn’t right to cut down a beautiful tree to be used for one month on our house as a decoration. That was until we lived in Delaware where they have oodles of Christmas tree farms. Where they grow trees just for Christmas and nothing else. It gave me a lot less guilt to buy the real thing just knowing the entire purpose of this tree was for a Christmas decoration. So now we enjoy the real thing… falling needles and all 🙂

    Oh this reminds me of a great tree story we made this year…we are fake tree people I’m sorry to say. A few years ago we switched, and I’m not looking back either! Anyway, we put our 12 ft. fake tree together wrong this year, and didn’t realize it until we stepped back to look at it. It was shaped like an hourglass! We called the children in to come look and I wish you could have seen their faces…utter shock! They thought we were serious, until we busted out laughing!
    Enjoy the smell (and needles!) of your beautiful tree!
