Naked tree

Plus lights

Equals this

Inspecting for dead bulbs

For some reason, I love throwing the tree out of focus.

I don’t know which is cuter, the kid or the Christmas bear I finally took possession of.  It was a “gift” that my parents kept at their house for several years.

Caleb was really into the decorating this year.  He was so anxious, we could barely get the lights on the tree.  Let’s just say the bottom of the tree is heavily decorated.

Perhaps distant cousins?  I see family resemblance there.

Ta-da

Some might say we’re easily entertained

A family portrait.  Scott is off right of me in the background (at the computer).  Caleb is no doubt on a mission to break a third ball in this picture.  That is this year’s running total by the way.  He wanted to use the branches as a “marble run” for the paper thin glass ornaments.  Last year I learned that you can still break these balls on carpet.

    So pretty! This year I gave in and tried colored lights because that’s what Adam grew up with and he was very adamant about not having a “snotty” tree. Well, I hate them! :) Next year it’s white lights – my turn!

    It looks great! I love the shot of just the tree with the lights. And the Christmas bear…so cute! You always take such good pictures, I’m jealous! I hoping and praying that there’s a Nikon camera under the tree for me this year.
