Precious...

My favorite tree is in the family room...(where Santa comes...
filled with the kids ornaments, which are becoming more precious because they are getting older...
of course an angel on top...

the hand ornaments are the best!!! and the kindergarten ones below (you can tell they all had the same teacher)...




I remember when there were lots of presents under the tree, swords, trucks, barbies, now its on to bigger things. I have only bought three gifts, I am sooooooooo behind. Hope you aren't as behind as me.

    I love your tree! I think it is just precious with all the little things made by such little hands! I have to say we are very behind as well. The only one with a gift right now is the hubby! Tomorrow is going to be jam packed with shopping thank goodness we were able to find a sitter.

    Those are the most precious ornaments and I'm sure just looking at them brings you great joy.
    And yes, you are not alone. I have so much to do and buying gifts is one of them. I'm tired just thinking about it all.
