Our Tree

I really wanted a tree this year because the girls know that Santa comes to everyone's house and puts presents under the tree. I'm not sure they really grasp yet that presents mean toys for them...but that moment will be quite exciting. We've decided that we'll be getting a fake tree because we believe (without any research) that an artificial tree is "greener" as we aren't driving to get a tree year after year. Nor are we cutting another one down, just to toss it out a few weeks later. I have a feeling that this "greener' aspect is probably delusional, but still.

So here we are with our (maybe) last real tree measuring in at 3 feet tall. However, I just saw a recent quote that squashed any doubts I had to it's size: "Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all thirty feet tall." Larry Wilde

I was trying to get a picture for cards...no luck!
