December in Photos, Take Three

I LOVE decorating for Christmas, so as you can probably guess, I was thrilled to pieces when this little guy made its way to our living room.

I've always had a soft spot for real Christmas trees with a chubby physique, so this one fit the bill perfectly. After Will expertly wrangled it into the stand and arranged the lights (I've never had the patience or talent for that), I hung our motley crew of ornaments which includes a good two dozen snowmen, mini Starbucks cups (yes, we're addicts), gingerbread men, candy canes and all things sparkly (yes, the glitter princess in me is still alive and well).

I never have the heart to take the tree down until after my birthday on January 2nd, and I still always feel a little sad when I do, but I loved that it was part of our lives for more than a month. It's just too bad it couldn't be our Valentine's Day, Easter, Fourth of July, Halloween and Thanksgiving tree, too. ;)
