A Girl and her Tree - Snapshots


I found a tiny tree,


just perfect in size;


I showed to my shadow,


who quite agreed with me.


The ornaments from Grandma;


reminders of dancing years past;


I found a little corner for it all,


while the vinyl record went 'round.


A graceful dancer struck a pose;


And a reminder of the exciting future.


Frosty waved as he went by,


the little holy manager.

Our Christmas Tree!

Friday morning, bright but not early, we bundled up to get our Christmas tree! 


We searched for the perfect tree! (from left to right: Lil' G, T-Tot, and L-Jo)


T-Tot decided to pick some cattails to make "fairy wands". She picked a few for her sisters too. 


Lil' G and L-Jo love having "fairy wands". 


After searching for a while Mom and I found the perfect tree! It was slightly tall but we figured we'll to to chop off the bottom anyways. So we took our Annual Girlies in front of the Christmas Tree picture. :~) 


T-Bug thoroughly approved. So Dad "chopped", (actually sawed it but it sounds better saying chopped) it down.


So we got our tree and loaded it up on the car. The sun came out and made everything sparkle. It was time to head home! At home we put it in the bathtub to melt the snow off. Very smart idea. :~)


On Saturday morning we awoke to find the tree in the living room. :~)


So we commenced to decorate it.


A few branches received too many ornaments, but it still looked beautiful when we were all done.


T-Bug was sleeping while we decorated so she enjoyed seeing it when she got up. She's actually been extremely good about not touching the tree. :~D


Our tree turned out to be pretty and perfect. I love having it in the living room. Makes the house smell pretty too! :~) Its one of my favorite things at Christmas.


Most importantly is the reason we celebrate Christmas.

12 days till X'mas!

12 days till X'mas 12/12/12!

We made Cinnamon Ornaments!!

(Sitting in the oven, just cause)

A friend gave us the dough, but you can make your own!

You need the ratio of 1:1. 

E.g. 1 cup of applesauce and 1 cup of Cinnamon.

Mix it up and roll it out. 

Cut it up with cookie cutters!!! :~D 

If it gets to sticky use some cornstarch to alleviate the stickiness. 

Bake @ 200 Fahrenheit until hard. (We haven't gotten that far).
