oh, christmas tree

yay for christmas trees!

i love turning the lights on that baby and watching it glow.

we try to leave them on as much as possible (especially at night),

so you can see it shining in our window from the street.

itt is a glorious sight if i do say so myself :)

this plastic baby was a wedding present actually, fun gift, huh?

i'll admit, fake does have some benefits...

 but i grew up with a real tree and we hope to buy real trees after BYU.

for now, this is our tree and we love it.

when it comes to decorations we abide by these rules:

more is more.

old, new, glittery, dull, we like them all!

pretty much our theme is whatever is on hand is gonna go on that there darn tree.

and you know what else i love about putting up decorations?
there's tons of new ones i forgot i bought at the end of last season!
so it's like a pre-christmas present to myself each year!!!

i now present, our tree.

song: pennies from heaven from the movie Elf

here's our tree from 2010, and 2009.
after looking at last year's tree, it looks almost like a duplicate, event though we did add a bunch.
we'll need to spice it up next year!
