Holiday happiness

We got our Christmas tree over the weekend, all four of us went to pick one out. John said it was his turn to find the ultimate tree...We got one that was totally wrapped up and didn't know how it would open up, but John was confident that it was the best tree in the lot. Turns out, it is pretty nice, and it's more than 7 feet tall.

This is Tara's second Xmas holiday with us and she is totally in the groove and committed to tradition. She put all the ornaments on, mostly in one spot near the bottom, but who cares? She was singing Fa-la-la-la-la as she decorated the tree. How can you not get in the Christmas spirit with her around?

She's so happy having all the bright colorful lights and garland and wreaths around the house and outside. She skips around saying, "It's SO beautiful!" Last year, Tara wanted a rocking horse. Santa brought one for her and she was thriled. This year, she doesn't seem to have one main gift request, but we think she'll be thrilled with whatever Santa brings.
