Christmas Tree is UP!

We have a tree!  A really real live real tree!  We're so excited to be spending the holiday at home this year.  Don't get me wrong... we love traveling to see friends and family for Christmas, but after years and years of hopping on a plane, we're so ready to stay home and enjoy some calm.  Here is Jack unwrapping the netting from our tree.

Charlie watches on...

...while the rest of the family helps align the tree.

We invited the Friedli Family over to help us decorate our tree.

After a dinner of stew, bread and beer (how very British of us), Emmawyn and Walker decorated star shaped sugar cookies.  Yum yum and yum.

Walker is styling the tell-tale Greenman tongue.  

This means he is focused and very serious about getting it right. 

Let the Christmas season begin!
