Our Christmas Tree | Photography Blog

Our Christmas tree has been up since just after Thanksgiving. I’ve been meaning to share it, but life has just been so busy! Sorry. I promise that I’ll seriously try and be a more consistent blogger in 2011.

This year, we opted for a fairly small tree for a few reasons. First and foremost, it was the only size that would realistically fit in the house without us moving a bunch of furniture and without the living room seeming cramped. It is sitting on one of our coffee tables! Secondly, we didn’t want little Barley lifting his leg on the tree…or the presents (there is only one there now) living beneath it. Lastly, it’s much less of a hassle in terms of needle maintenance. I don’t think that I’ve had to vacuum any needles up yet! Perfect.

When we took all the ornaments out of the storage cubby, I discovered that we had just enough for this little tree. Can you see the “angel” on the top? My grandmother bought it for me years ago at a church craft sale. I absolutely love it, but Rusty completely detests it. This might be her last year out on the tree, as she’s kind of falling apart, she doesn’t really sit on the top of the tree that well and the man of the house doesn’t like her. Sad face.

P.S. I absolutely love this out-of-focus picture.
