Deck the Halls!



We actually decorated the tree last week. I'm just a little slow on the upkeep right now! We went to Daniken's and picked out a beautiful tree that was (gasp) on clearance! Get out! But it is a beauty. And it is lopsided. They drilled the hole in the trunk crooked so our tree tilts just like the Tower of Pisa. I think of it as my reminder that Christmas doesn't have to be perfect. That the manger wasn't perfect. And that none of us come to the manger (or the cross) perfect.
Wow, where did that come from? Feeling rather philosophical today, I suppose! Just think about it, will ya?

The before.

The lights.


The random decor.
The adorable Justin.
Ethan's turn to put up the star.
