    I love these photographs! You know, when I was young my father owned a Christmas tree “farm.” Then, one year he simply allowed it to grow into a forest. Then, he built his home there and now, he basically lives in the middle of a self-sown forest! HA! He’s a bit odd. :)

    Benjamin & I are still enjoying all of our goodies–did you see my post? We love Alfred–he is so cuddly and sweet! Our ornaments are on the tree–oh! and I just love my ladybug brooch!! So many goodies!!!

    Here’s wishing you and yours a peaceful holiday filled with friends & family. Still keeping your mom in my thoughts–hope she’s feeling better!

    What a beauty! Love that tree, and the whole wintery scene of finding it. I am finding it hard to adjust to such a warm climate during the holidays. It really doesn’t feel like Christmas to me! Only at night, when the lights are low, and the tree is twinkling…

    Happy Holidays to you and your loved ones!

    That’s so great. I’m dying to see it all decorated and pretty, with things that you and the girls do.
    Merry Xmas to the family!
