oh, tanenbaum

I have to admit that I’m not really a holiday person, but I love Christmas. I love the festive music and the twinkling lights, and one of my favorite parts of the whole year is decorating the tree. My mom gave all of us an ornament every year from the time we were born. Getting out the boxes every year is like looking through a time capsule. Some of these ornaments have been with me for more than thirty years! I am doing the same thing with my children so that someday when they move out (*sniff*) they will have lots of ornaments for their tree, and the memories that go along with them. This past weekend we got our tree, and I took a few pictures at the farm.

This boy loves the water. I think he would live in it, if he could!
