Each year we seem to get later and later picking
out our Christmas tree and this year is no different
Weather and schedules just didn't allow it so Cade
Weather and schedules just didn't allow it so Cade
and I went on the 10th and he picked out this 8ft balsam
fir. This is the 'shortest' tree we've gotten in the last few
years but it was the 'tallest' tree on the lot! That's what
happens when you wait... it's still a beautiful tree!
Sunday Dec. 13th, 2009 ~ It's time to decorate the tree!
The boys' don't think it's near as fun as when they were
little but it's tradition that they sort out the ornaments then
each put their own on. They did it though and we all had some
good laughs.
Bernie's in charge of lights and garland. Cade
gives him a hand.
Garrett didn't want his picture taken or put
on the blog........that's too bad! You're never
too old for Christmas!
The boys' put their ornaments on then were out of there! So
Bernie and I finished up with the snowflake and icicle ornaments
we put on. It's a reminder that the boys' are getting older. When
they were little, their innocence made Christmas so magical and
I miss that but we still continue with all of our traditions and some
day they'll appreciate that we did.
Wa-la! Another beautiful Christmas tree
graces our home this holiday! It's hard to see
all of the pretty ornaments but it's loaded down
and there's even a few presents under the tree!
Christmas is now 10 days away.....I still have
shopping to do, baking to get done and cards to
send out.......hopefully I'll get everything done in
time! I'm determined not to be stressed!! :) Wish
me luck!
