Christmas tree-as per request


Here is our tree this year. We changed it up since last year, in the living room rather than the family room (since it has furniture this year!). We had a lot less drama so far when it comes to the tree. Last year we bought a real tree which tipped over as I was finishing the decorating and broke several ornaments, which made me cry. Then, we got it to stay put and the sucker dried out like you wouldn't believe, can you say fire trap? So German brought home a fake tree that I hated and vetoed immediately. Luckily it went back to the store easily. We went out and bought a tree at Target and were happy with it. This year it seemed much easier. Dad and G. put it up-did you know that the branches are color-coded to help you put it together? Who knew?! I decorated it (with some help from Sof) and we were basically done! The lights were a bit of a trauma, German had to mess with them a bit three nights after I thought we were done! Keep your fingers crossed for us that nothing crazy happens this year! The lights outside the house are a story for another time!
