Ok, so we don't really use tinsel on the tree (NOT a good choice with two dogs who eat anything they can semi swallow), but we sure do love our tree with lots of glitz and shine!
Last Sunday was tree day at the Plummer house. We set out in the morning to find the perfect specimen, which was quickly and easily obtained from the authentic tree farm (uh, I mean parking lot) two minutes down Spring Road. The boys were headed to enjoy the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra Children's Christmas Celebration with Nana and Grandy after lunch, so time was short, and we needed to keep things moving.
That evening after dinner we settled into the living room to add the ornaments - the REALLY old ones from Daddy's youth (heehee!), the fabulously cheesy ornaments from Mommy's childhood, the many memories gathered by Bill and me throughout our 15 years together, and the fun and cute ornaments that Brady and Parker have accumulated over their past few Christmases.
P.S. I don't know what happened to Parker's pants...
After some intial excitement Parker quickly tired of the process (probably because most of his ornaments kept falling off shortly after placement.)
Brady, however, stuck with us to the bitter end, even begging multiple times to put the star on top - and he was flatly turned down each time. That's one thing Daddy does not share.
While the garnering or decorating of the tree didn't seem to inspire me with some sort of witty blog posting, we did enjoy spending a quiet evening at home working on a fun family project.
Oh, and just so you know Michael, my stunningly artistic green and red chocolate chip Christmas cookie ornament has been awarded an honored place in front, right where it belongs! I know you're jealous....
