O, Christmas Tree

We bought ourselves a real, live Christmas tree this year for the first time in like 14 years! It is so much bigger and more beautiful than the old artificial tree. And the smell . . . I'm in heaven. When Tracy put the lights on it yesterday, though, he gave serious consideration to a pre-lit tree next year. I don't know. I don't think I can go back to fake now.

We decorated it this afternoon:




Ryan must have been a little sleepy.


Rusty was comatose on his bedroom floor.


Don't know what's Sam's doing here.








The finished product



Xander likes to feed the kitties. Their bowl is outside, so today it was freezing cold. You can see he's trying to hold it with just one finger on each side.

Anyway, we're looking forward to a wonderful holiday season. Merry Christmas, everyone!

What a beautiful tree...I guess all our trips to cut our own tree in Ferron comes back to us because Lenny and Amanda always get a live tree too!!! We didn't even put up our big tree this year. Dad just did a group of alpine trees and the village below with the Polar Express Train around it!!! I will sure miss seeing you guys on Christmas but you are always in my heart!!! Love Ya A&F, MOM
PS Xander with the cat food bowl is so adorable!! You have an adorable family!!! I am so pleased with our awesome family!!! You guys are such a great example to me!

You should keep some questions in mind when finding the right lawyer. Are you in a comfortable position with the way that they work? Do they have enough legal experience to handle your case?
