Our Black and White Tree

Yep, this is our Christmas Tree. I saw this white tree at the store, and fell in love with it. I was equally excited, when I saw the black ornaments, that hung off the branches. I kind of kept it to myself, then my husband said, "Hey, I kinda like that tree." I immediately said, "Me too!!" Of course, I didn't think we were going to end up getting it. I have told a few people about the tree, and have 10 times out of 10, gotten strange looks, or comments like, "Only you would put black ornaments on a tree." But hey, who cares, my family is happy with it, so that is all that matters. We let the kids put on all the decorations, they really enjoyed it. They are really happy with it. I should have taken pictures of the kids Menorahs. Ara and Tolkien celebrate Hanukkah, more so with their father side of the family. Some nights, they are with Jeremy and I, and they get to light their Menorahs, at home. I'll take some pictures Wednesday night, and post them for you to see. This year Hanukkah is the same week as Christmas.


I don't know if you can see it, but Emma has a band aid on her forehead, in the picture below. She used to be obsessed with band aids, and wore them constantly.

This is Emma's letter to Santa Claus, sitting in the mailbox. She still believes in Santa, so we will also be making cookies for him too!

This is Emma. She is really excited for Christmas this year. She can hardly stand it!

Like I said, Jeremy and I will get Ara and Tolkien back on Christmas Eve. They will be lighting their Menorahs, and I promise to take pictures.
