O Christmas Tree

" Deck the halls with balls of hory --- fa ra ra ra ra"

For those of you who are not familiar with the song from Christmas Story

the song is sung by holiday inspired waiters at a Chinese Restaurant

for Christmas dinner... one of my favorite songs of the season.

For the last 7 years we have kept the tradition of selecting Christmas

trees with the Brisco's and every year seems to be better than the last.

Our bundled family (Sejera's & Brisco's) braved the bitter cold wind to select the perfect

Christmas tree for our living rooms.

Bella and Sydney ran like crazed monkeys to find the perfect tree

Our tree!!!!!
Bella and Daddy picked out a 9 foot Douglas Fir (I think it
was a douglas fir -- whatever it is, I LOVE IT cause it doesn't
shed everytime you touch it)


Sarah, Sydney and Thomas

Another tradition is daddy and Bella putting the angel on top of the
tree once the tree is trimmed...

Bella did a wonderful job overseeing the trimming of the tree,

and assisting in the decoration (to make sure we had it just right for Santa)

Although Cristiano fell asleep half way through the tree trimming process

he enjoyed watching his sister unwrap each ornament and put it

4 inches in front of his face so he could clearly see how beautiful each ornament was.

Can't wait to see what Santa brings...
