The Children's Tree of Christmas Past

Brandon sees their horsie a little differently, all dressed up in front of the children's tree. It's like a new toy. The boys love the children's tree, as it was Daddy's Christmas tree when he was a little boy. Our first Christmas as a married couple, we had just bought our first home and I was weeks away from delivering Nathan. Since we were still in boxes, with a serious sense of urgency, I thought we would forego a tree and have a large pointsetta or something...I know very unlike me, but I had a baby on the way! So my in-laws gave us their tree (one of the pluses of an artificial tree).

It was perfect.

This year Nathan really got the concept that the tree was the same one Daddy grew up with, so it has a lot of Christmas pasts under its branches! The funniest part is, every year David talks about how big he used to think the tree was...he was disappointed we didn't get 12 footer one year (the ceilings in our old house allowed for that kind of height). Nathan thinks the tree is huge and asked us "how old will I be when I can reach the top?" Don't rush it my little prince.
