Decorating the Christmas tree

 Scott's turn to put the star on the tree this year!
 Max was lonely and wanted to join us!
 We have tall enough ceilings in the den for a REALLY tall tree!  My dad would like this.  I remember going to a warehouse with him and Mom one year to buy a new artificial tree and Daddy saying "yes, I'm sure that it will fit in the house!"  We had to mash down on the star on top and wedge it between the top of the tree and the ceiling.  He and Mom also had the conversation every year about why she didn't want to have a tree with ALL RED lights on it-Daddy's favorite color was red!

 We had to do some more adjusting later, including finally a pair of clippers!


 Looking at the feet ornaments!
 We love these glass ornaments with the kids baby footprints etched in them.  They think it is fun to see how little their feet used to be!







 Love that our tree is covered with ornaments from my childhood, Greg's childhood, favorites of Mom and Dad's, ones the children have made, and ones from Germany, Russia, the Philippines, Australia, Singapore, China, Cayman, and several more.  There are MANY wonderful memories hanging on this tree!
 LOVE these 3 sillies!  After we hung all the ornaments we could find places for, we ate pizza, and curled up to watch A Christmas Carol with Patrick Stewart as Scrooge-he is great!
