Putting up the Christmas Tree

Finally, here are the pictures of the kids and I decorating our Christmas tree. J and I at long last decided we could do away with the big gray childproofing fence so our tree is fenceless! I'm so happy!! I absolutely adore the tree and all our wacky ornaments. We've got everything, from paper ornaments the kids have made to a set of ornaments I received in an advent calendar my family got when I was a kid to ornaments that say "J 1978" on them to beautiful fancy glass ornaments Grammie has given us because they didn't fit on her tree anymore. I love all the memories that are tied into the different ornaments on our tree.
