The first Christmas tree at home...

We normally have artificial trees. I have two in the garage already. However, my mom said that we shouldn't be cheap and deprive the boys of a real tree for our first Christmas at home. When Buddy brought home this 8 foot tall tree, I thought it was ridiculously large. As we added the lights, our ornaments, the polar express train set, and finally the presents, I fell completely in love with our tree. It's now the 2nd of January and I'm teary eyed that the time has come to take it down. I'll miss you tree but you'll forever be in my memories. Thanks for making our Christmas beautiful and complete.
