Fairytale of New York


Given that it was like pulling teeth to get the kids to pose for Christmas pictures this year, the hubby wanted to place this photo on our card. At least they're standing next to one another and, from this vantage point, no one can tell if they're beating each other up or not.

My favorite part of this picture is the fact that it showcases something very special about our tree. Unlike our neighbor's tree -- which is perfectly decorated with beautiful ornaments, every branch covered with beauty, the weight of each piece evenly distributed across branches and the sizes/colors painstakingly rendered for optimum viewing -- our ornaments (many of which are kid-made) are all hanging on the bottom 1/3 of the tree where the little guys could reach.

Martha Stewart may not be proud but I really like it.

that is hilarious. definitely use it on the card.

i wouldn't have noticed that the ornaments were all at the bottom, another benefit of the sock-shot (that isn't meant to sound disgusting) as i was too distracted by the rug. me like-e ;)

the rug was a freebie from my girlfriend laura. her step mom bought it for her at a garage sale and laura didn't like it. i gratefully took it off her hands! it is just one of many awesome gifts from her . . .
