In case you didn't notice, it's a work in progress. The topper isn't up and there are only a hodge podge of ornaments here and there because I have to go get some hooks. The tinsel is a little loopy too...thanks to Junior the cat.

| What? |
It's an artificial slim paley pine tree that I scored an incredible deal on online at Home Depot last year after Christmas. It's a nine-footer, pre-lit, and with pine cones and sticks and all sorts of natural-looking do-dads and gee-haws.
So of course we packed it full of plastic ornaments:)
Here are some of my favorites:
Little quilted log cabin square, made by my mom. There's a pocket on the back for a gift card. I thought that was ingenious:)
My daughter's handprint from 1st grade.
A stocking my sister made, many moons ago:)
A heart the kids worked on together, using perler beads.
Ornament made by my daughter in school.
Hub and I picked this up at the beach on our honeymoon 12 years ago:)
The First Gift of Christmas bells I got the kids the year they were so into The Polar Express.
This is only a sampling of my favorite ornaments. I found some up on the attic in my in-law's house too, but I haven't had time to go through them yet. I'm sure there's some new favorites in there:)
I'll put up a finished pic of the tree as soon as it's all decked out and fluffed and regal-looking.
