our tree 2008

today i'm going to try and update my blog... i've missed several events that i intended to blog about, but time just ran away from me last week! first, last weekend (after thanksgiving), we put up our christmas tree. yes, it is fake. i'm not a fan of needles covering the floor nor watering a real tree. so, i like to go "all out" on a fake tree and not even buy one that looks real (i.e. a white tree). this will be the last year for this white tree to be upstairs and/or around our kids. 95% of the ornaments i have are glass, so they'll have to be put up for a while - which means we will probably get a new tree (this time it'll be green and come with the lights already on it) to be decorated with kid-made ornaments. the future tree will be called our "family tree." ...here is a video of kendal really digging the lights! (fyi, the EHHH sound he makes in the video is because i wouldn't give him the camera.)
