ladders, paper, and the real thing

whether it's a ladder or poster board paper or the real cut it down yourself thing, christmas trees are one of my favorite things about this most wonderful time of the year :)





i don't remember decorating that ladder, but i've heard the story many times and love that picture so much! i know that our boys probably won't remember decorating their caribbean poster board christmas tree either, but hopefully it will be one of our fondest christmas memories ever so that we can share our little christmas in statia 2011 story over and over again as well :)

we had so much fun decorating our homemade paper ornaments and decorating our little tree the other day....

i may shed a tear or two about missing out on picking out a christmas tree with these fabulous amazing and totally tubularly awesome peeps, and i may miss the smell of the real thing, and i know i'll miss being with my family for all the christmas excitement.....


but we love our little tree and are super excited to make our own memories and enjoy our little beachful, sunny, statia christmas here :)

It's so crazy to see such TANNED little boys in December!! Good luck with your first Christmas together as a little fam! I'm kind of jealous...although I've been too afraid to take the plunge to do it yet. :)
