I love how the picture of TheOldest and TheMiddlest (when I was very early pregnant with ThePrincess) looks like they’re looking at the tree. I love how before we got the tree put up ThePrincess drew a picture of a Christmas tree and taped it to the wall where she thought the actual tree should go. I love how MyOldest, last year, made paper ornaments and that we saved them for this year – he even made the hangers out of paper. I love how my daughter used her Nana and Papa money to purchase, not a toy for herself, but a $2 HUGE pink plastic ornament that she wanted at the top of the tree. I love how we have a 3 foot piece of tinsel that the kids love and that I just left right where they put it. I love how we have white lights AND colored lights. Boring goes to the circus. I love how my aunt has sent a Christmas ornament for every child every year since the first was born – how they are themed each year and growing in number. I love you can see the “Joy”ornament from here. The embodiment of my life – this tree is absolutely joyfully chaotic. What does your tree say about you?
