Christmas Tree '10

It was a Christmas Miracle; we had all 4 kids and their significant others and/or friends with us for some or all of getting the tree, setting it up, decorating it, and our traditional dinner of fettucine alfredo

Arriving at Home Depot to get our Christmas tree. It was about 85 degrees out. (I told Katie she got "mom points" for wearing a Christmas sweatshirt!

Maslyns (minus Sara)
