O tannenbaum

The living room in our new home is a bit (a tiny bit) bigger than our old living room, and that means that we have room for a larger tree this year.

My cousin sells home grown trees. We managed to find a pretty one, even though it was dark by the time we managed to get out of the door, and I was walking around in ankle deep snow in my sneakers (yup - I need some boots) and I couldn't feel my toes. Adam missed out on all the fun - he was sleeping in the warm car (right next to the tree patch).

Yesterday the tree was ready to come into it's new home... our living room. I love decorating the tree, and I love a tree full of color and fun ornaments.

Every year I've made three Christmas ornaments. One with my name, one with Michael's and one with the year - different color and style each year.

But this year I had to make four.. because baby Adam needs his own. But my friend Lene beat me to it. She had made a custom ball for Adam. So one less for me to do. Her's is so much prettier than any I have ever made. She used different color glitter for the name and decoration, and her ability to write in glitter clearly surpasses mine - but I tried my best to complete the set with our names as well.

my favorite bird with ear-warmers - cute!

There seem to be growing mushrooms on our three.

Every tree should have a purple motorcycle on it... right?

Owly Christmas

 Merry Christmas!
