Decorating the tree

Every year we get a Charlie Brown tree. The guy who lived here before us planted a bunch of pine trees that we've been using for the past 8 years. Somehow, we always forget to trim any, so by the time Christmas rolls around, our choices in decent trees gets slimmer each year. Especially since those the trees are averaging around 20-30 feet high. This year, Teresa and Emily got our tree and had to cut the tree about half-way up so it would fit in our house, and had to cut a few feet off the top too! And this was the result:
It's a step down form last years tree with was absolutely HUGE, so Mom is thankful for that at least. But seeing everyone else's perfectly manicured trees just makes me laugh. Despite it's faults, I like our Charlie Brown tree. In Linus' words, "I never thought it was such a bad little tree."
Going through the ornaments.
Mom and me.
Anna.
Teresa and Dad.
Sisters! Anna, Sarah, and Emily.
Yeah, my Dad works out. :P
And the finished product!
