O Christmas Tree

December 23, 2010

This is our Christmas tree. We cut one down every year, so every year they look different which is so fun! I love looking back at all our Christmas pictures and seeing the trees. One year we got a short, squatty one. We were about a head taller than it. But it was really full and cute. This tree is a little sparse, but tall and beautiful. Very Christmas tree-y.

Last night my nephew was born. Wanna know his name? Austin Boaz! Isn’t that cute! Boaz is of course from the Bible and it’s also the name of a guitar maker that heavily influenced my brother-in-law who also makes guitars. They might call him Bo or something. Not sure yet. I think they just finally decided the name last night, so it’s all new to them. I got to see him today and he is amazing. Isn’t there nothing else in the world like holding a tiny baby. Like, you just want to hold them forever. I wonder if it’s got something to do with how peaceful and pure they are. And how they can’t love us yet, but the love we have for them is just pouring out so strong that we can barely stand it.

Just some thoughts.

    Your tree is so cute, and congrats on the new nephew! Love the name.

    Your outfit is fantastic, by the way. Love how the skirt is dressy and the denim skirt is casual. Together they are perfect.

    You are officially the cutest thing ever.

    Great pics and great Christmas outfit! And I love the tree. I wish I wasn’t allergic to real trees because they are so much better than my silly fake tree!

    Merry Christmas love
