Friday afternoon we took the girls and Jack to pick out a Christmas tree. I love having a real tree. The house smells so good and, for me at least, it's a lot easier than putting together that artificial one and fluffing all those branches. The girls and I located the "perfect tree" for our home this year. There they are like two Vanna White's showing you our find! We all go get into the van and wait in line for the men who work there to tie it to the top. It's finally our turn! Wait a minute. There's a problem. "Sir, your "perfect tree" has a cracked trunk." Oops! Now Mark gets to go back while we sit in the warm van and pick out another "perfect tree". Alls well that ends well. The tree is beautiful and the girls really got into decorating the house this year. They were so excited to see all of their homemade ornaments that we affectionately call filler ornaments. Usually we put on all the hallmark ornaments first and fill up the holes with the others. This year the homemade ornaments and lesser ornaments took center stage. There isn't a branch without something hanging on it. Now, let the baking begin!!!
That picture of us holding an ornament was taken by Annie. She had wrapped a little cross ornament that she made in Sparks and had hidden from us for several weeks. She let us open it when we began putting the ornaments on the tree. What a special treat! She is so precious and thoughtful.

Did Annie do that??? How incredibly sweet...she is like her mama. Y'all's tree looks great and full of ornaments. Love the turkey day pictures, too. Love y'all!
Thanks for sharing! I think it's a lovely tree! We always used to get our homemade ornaments front and center, but they weren't nearly as cute as y'all's!
