Oh Christmas Tree!!

Yeah! we have a real tree!!! Last year I was 8 months pregnant and really could care less about a tree. Ben took the girls to get one and when they came home the girls both told me they had gotten a tree but it fell off the roof of the van. I believed them, since both of them had the same story and were very animated - Brynlee was only 2 and I didn't know 2 year olds could tell a lie. Ben had gotten them to tell me how it had fallen off, but the truth was they really hadn't gotten one. So this year I went with them and we really tied a tree to the top of the van and it didn't fall off and it is now beautifully decorating our front room. This year I am not such a scrooge and I love the Christmas tree and all the other decorations. Our family favorite is the Little People's Nativity scene. The kids love playing with it - too cute. These pictures of the tree are mostly for my mom who asked for them. We wish she could come and see it.
