the last of the trees

Today's post is the last of the trees from the Festival of the trees

The star attraction for the day was the big guy dressed in red.

More trees.

 Just more trees from our trip to the festival of the trees.

I still have enough pictures left to do one more post.

Extra extra

Breaking news.

FATALATY IN THE VILLAGE.

I was moving things around to add the lights and fix the snow blanket and I knocked one of the pieces off the mantle. 

I have yet to try to see if I can glue this back together.

A holiday tradition

Back when the kids were in elementary school, they made snowflake ornaments with their pictures in the center. I don't recall what grade they did this in but it really isn't relevant to the story anyway. These are the ornaments that they made and every year they continue to go on the tree

 Amanda decorates the tree most of the time and it's become a bit of a holiday tradition that her snowflake goes front and center on the tree while her brothers goes somewhere near the back. In the next picture I have them circled where each of them are

At least she thinks enough of her brother to still make his snowflake visible.
