We had such a great Christmas. I love all the family time, the excitement bubbling out of the kiddos, parties, decorations, the whole shebang! This is our second year with a real tree. We took the kids out to pick the centerpiece of our holiday decorating. When we got home with our prize, we put it up in the front room and noticed how oddly shaped it really was. After my "pruning" attempt, it looked a little better, however it didn't have the pretty pointed top that most Christmas trees do. Ben and I couldn't stop laughing at the fact that we just purchased the ugliest tree out there!
