After much debate over whether or not we should get a real Christmas tree this year - or even a Christmas tree at all, the Busbee family finally decided on a beautiful, 4-foot evergreen. We were afraid that Caleb wouldn't be able to keep his little toddler paws off the shiny and sharp ornaments that go with a Christmas tree. So we figured that a small tree strategically placed on a table behind our couch would do the trick - and so far so good.
And while in years past we have not been known to break ornaments while decorating, this year we broke a record. No less than three shattered ornaments and three shattered glass bulbs, as well as an entire shelf falling down that lead to a shattered wine glass, etc.
Sweet Caleb wasn't to blame - his sloppy parents were at fault.
Nonetheless, we all survived and were able to sit down for a quick family portrait. It feels good to have some holiday spirit in our house, no matter how late a start we got.

You're tree is adorable and love the pic of the fam!
That story reminds me of one Dr. Rogers tells about getting his family to church on Sundays...but like you...they got to church
Sunday after Sunday. Your tree was beautiful only surpassed by your beautiful family.
