O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging;
The little reindeer below - I love it - when Ann was a baby on my hip, 10 months, I walked up to the tree to show her this ornament. She burst into terrified tears. I had to walk away to comfort her. I didn't love scaring her - I thought she'd like it.
But it's such an endearing moment and I was able to comfort her.
What Mother doesn't want to always do that?
Not only green when summer's here,But also when 'tis cold and drear.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy leaves are so unchanging!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me;
How often has the Christmas tree
Afforded me the greatest glee!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Much pleasure thou can'st give me.
The Santa ornament, below, is a dough ornament I made. We did that one year. I have the recipe for that dough and Ann and I had planned to do that this year. We didn't. Maybe next year, when Andrew is 10 months. Yeah, that should be easy.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!Thy candles shine so brightly!
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!
From base to summit, gay and bright,There's only splendor for the sight.
O Christmas Tree! O Christmas Tree!
Thy candles shine so brightly!

Ann, again, in our front yard, 1005 Birchwood Drive.
And Ellie - I couldn't locate Luke on the tree - and I am missing my Ada ornament.
I have to take care of that - Luke and Ada must have a place on the tree!!!
Before there was Kate - Laura Beth, Ann and Sarah
I keep even the construction paper ornaments - well, some of them.
Dough ornament, again. A tree, made by Ann, when she was little.
A Gingerbread Man made by Kate when she was little - cut out of sandpaper.
Ann in 2 ornaments, plus Santa.
All four of my girls in this ornament.
And Ellie peeking from behind the reindeer and other ornaments.
