Christmas 2005

It just hit me that I have never posted pictures of our first Christmas as a married couple. We had the biggest live tree that we (I) could find and we hosted both families at our house for Christmas morning breakfast. It was wonderful! And it was a white Christmas:)

My tree, it was a gorgeous tree, a huge tree, and my favorite tree. I'm sorry that I didn't have any before pictures of it. Before the accident that is. You see my tree was so big and huge and heavy that after all of the decorations were hung and it was all lit up and gorgeous, it had a huge accident. It fell. Just fell right over in the floor. It broke my heart along with many ornaments. Thankfully it only broke one really special ornament and that was the one we got on our honeymoon in Antiqua. We get an ornament on every trip that we go on:) Anyway, we ended up having to wire the tree to the wall. It was so sad looking after that, it just did not look as beautiful as it first did.

See how sideways it looks. I kept thinking all season that it was gonna fall again!

Look at all of those presents!

This is Emma, all dressed up in her jewelry and her new pink cowgirl boots!

Don't know what the disgusted look was all about, cause trust me it was a good gift it was pink jewelry!


Look at how young they all look.

I just love Christmas time! I can't wait to start decorating!
I just love the wreaths on the outside windows and the snow all around. Looks like it should be on a Christmas card! I certainly won't have this in Atlanta.
