O Christmas Tree

Every year we get a real tree. I'm not sure anything means Christmas more than the smell of pine. I know that they make a mess, but it is totally worth it. This year we went to Home Depot. I walked in to the Garden Center, the air was heavy with pine and instantly I was in a holiday mood. Joe and the boys picked out a very big tree. It was so big that it touched our ceiling and took up a big chunk of our living room. It took us a couple of weeks to get it completely decorated, but it was so nice. I love to spend time with our tree.

Matthew was a big help setting up the tree.

And a big help decorating it.

Nicholas and Holden helped too.

And here are some shots Joe took of the decorated tree.
