Not one, but two damn tannenbaum!




It is true that this year we put up our first tree in 11 years of marriage (insert gasp and disapproving glance here). Honestly we've typically barely decorated because we are so fortunate to go back to the Midwest and stay with our families for an extended period of time. Don't worry - there are decorated trees there and much, much merry.
But, this year Connor was not going to let us go without a tree and quite frankly it was time. We are so enjoying how festive it looks. We also put up a tree in Connor's room - not quite the 7 footer he was hoping for, but damn joyous just the same.
Enjoy some pictures of our tannenbaum - oh and stop judging! Oh and in trying to "keep it real" don't you love the unmade bed, dirty shirt Quinn is wearing and bed head that Connor is sporting in the middle of the day. Precious moments.

Tia has her own tree this year and it is the most exciting thing that has ever happened in her WHOLE LIFE.

All decorating aside, I am so impressed you knew that tannenbaum is both singular and plural. Just like the word "santa."

It must be something that happens when you turn 5 this tree awareness thing. Brenna was all about decorating the tree this year. I even managed to overlook that fact that 2 similar ornaments are right next to each other all over the tree. You know how hard that was for me.
