Well, we put up our tree this weekend. We went back and forth whether we were going to do this since we won't be in town for Christmas and we decided that we would do it for Shelby. Of course Shelby looks at the tree occasionally but doesn't really seem interested. Ross drug everything down from the attic put the tree together and started unpacking ornaments while I decorated. All Ross asked for was one certain ornament the whole time he was unwrapping them. We finally realized there was another box in the attic that held his prize ornament. Every other year we spend Christmas with Ross' extended families (the Johnsons and the Hahns) and at the Johnson Christmas everyone brings an ornament and we play a white elephant game with them. In true Johnson form most of these are not "oh what a beautiful ornament" these are who can bring the funniest/craziest. Also, who is going to steal is also fun. Well Ross two years ago got his prize ornament, which, he stole. Ross loves the movie "The Christmas Story" and is always quoting it around Christmas. "You'll shoot your eye out kid." If you have never seen the movie the rest of the story will not mean as much. Our tree is decorated in gold and cream balls, bows, precious memories, and an angel on top. Oh yeah and Ross' prize ornament.
A miniature version of the leg lamp from the Christmas story movie. It actually is hard to find on the tree.....thank goodness. Sorry Johnsons this one is not coming back this year but Ross is very proud of the one he is bringing. Aren't ya'll scared???
Our tree without the tree skirt or gifts. I know....I'm working on it.

Your tree is beautiful! Love the leg lamp! There's always a special place for the tacky ornaments right in the back of the tree! haha
