"Dad...stop taking pictures of me!"
We're done!
Jeppson Christmas tree 2008
It was such hard work! Time for bed, pout face.
We finally finished decking the halls! We had to buy a new Christmas tree this year. I had sneakily given our old one to Good Will before the move. It was time, we had bought it when I was pregnant with Hannah 7 years ago. Even then it was just a cheap $20 Walmart tree, all we could afford as struggling students. It served us well, and we had a lot of wonderful memories with our old tree. However, we love our new tree. It looks so pretty all decorated up, and the girls had a good time getting out all the ornaments. They each have their favorites that they like to put on the tree each year. As soon as the box of ornaments came out, earlier that day, piles of ornaments started to accumulate as the girls began their collection of favorites for tree trimming. I am still finding the occasional ornament stashed in an odd place...like inside a Santa hat. We have found a spot for all our decorations in our new house...and we have twinkly lights up in the windows. The only thing left is to put up the icicle lights around the front porch. That will be Matt's weekend project. The Holiday feeling is upon us, and we are grateful the spirit of the Christmas season is in our home.
