We put up our Christmas tree! We bought our tree from our neighbor who owns a nursery - the trees here aren't as full as ones in the states. when i was looking through them, he was like, "people want a real tree but want it to look like a fake tree." so i guess there's a charm in the imperfections! it's kind of sad looking but still beautiful ;)
Makayla showcasing the little wood figurines we bought here.
it was an ordeal in itself to not let ethan break any of the ornaments. he was quite good i must say.
the finished product! i need to take a closer shot of the one branch that's sticking out - the star on top is touching the ceiling. i thought that it wasn't proportional at all so wanted to cut it but joe insisted that we need to keep it that way. don't ask me why.
Christmas also came a bit early in our house - we got a surprise package from our friends in the states. Ofcourse, none of us have the discipline to wait until Christmas so we just tore it open and enjoyed all the treats that night! Thank you Billy and Jin!
Makayla was crying literally two seconds before we opened the package - something about ethan hitting her with a bat - but she's all smiles now.
ta-da! her woodkins! isn't the bunching around the neck genius? if i had it my way, she would be on project runway - and me on the apprentice (actually only the first season - it's so gimmicky now - on second thought, bring back the martha apprentice and i'm there!!!) :P
ethan and mak fighting over making the little figurines. why am i not pictured? ofcourse, because i'm devouring the magazines jin picked out for me!

-that christmas tree man should be a philosopher. what he said is just genius!
Glad you liked them!

looks awesome... by the way, the tree guy lied to you, I think. This is a 'real' tree from HomeDepot at Ming's place. 8)

awww, that's so sweet! merry christmas guys. the tree isn't bad looking, although the top part looks like 2 arms sticking out and it's about to come and attack you. but i'm glad you got the real tree. btw, that roasted whole pig in your previous post looked really yummy:)
hey your tree looks great! we don't get much better looking trees in Phoenix either... might as well be living in Poland. We have to drive hours and hours to the mountains to get real nice trees.
