Oh Christmas Tree..

On Saturday we went to get our Christmas tree. I insisted that it be a small one this year..but once again, we got it home and it was bigger than I thought it would be. It is still much smaller than our usual tree but I really wanted a tiny one this year. After decorating it, I am very happy with it. Of course, all Drew wants to do is grab at the ornaments. If I am standing all of the way across the room he puts his little hand out indicating that he wants me to go over to it. He knows what "gentle" means and usually listens when I tell him to be gentle. Here are some photos of the tree and decorations around the house. We also decorated outside, lighting up the two big dogwoods for the first time. I am so excited with how they came out. I wrapped the lights up the trunk and around the individual branches. It took a lot of time and effort, but we managed to get them up without killing ourselves.A special gift from Auntie Laura and Uncle JR: Drews first ornament..it says "Babys 1st Christmas 2007"
