It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

The children have their own tree. It is the tree that Nathan and I bought when we were first married. It is sentimental and we cannot get rid of it. When we moved into our house with the vaulted ceilings, we needed something a bit taller than the cherished 5 foot tree. So now we have a "theme" tree in the piano room, and the children's family tree in the family room. They decorate it all by themselves and it looks great every year!

Andrew after just knocking the "almost finished" tree over. Everyone stood their stunned form a minute and then we picked it up and put it back together. We also put weights at the base so it cannot be knocked over again, by Andrew or elves or anyone else!

Merry Christmas!
