the lights are hung, the garland strung, our crazy ornaments in sections according to the hangee's height...ah! yes, our tree is a cuffudled christmas mess!! it won't be mistaken for macy's or martha stewart's tree, but it's our memory maker! each ornament has a story, and every year more stories are added.....shawn and i have collected an ornament from everywhere we have visited...a tradition we started on our honeymoon, gabe loves to look at all of his baby ornaments-- they are all so "old"!, grady loves to hear the stories of mommy's most favorite ornaments, the most wonderfully handcrafted ornaments by gabe and grady are displayed proudly, and a year would not be complete without shawn poking fun at my most beloved "spaceman snowman" (rest assured it looks nothing like a spaceman---it is antique and very old fashioned looking-it is just an endearing name my husband has given him!). while our tree is not what i have always dreamed---i've always imagined the "macy's tree"--all the same colored balls, ribbon....fancy smancy!--it's our tree...perfect in it's own way....perfectly decorated by a 3 and 7 year old---never know... martha could catch on!
santa shawn puts the star on top of the tree--can you believe he let me take a picture of him in this hat!!!!
what next, mom??

Cute tree! You sure are braver than I am. Josiah would have pulled the whole thing down decorating it. Maybe next year!
