M&N: Early Birthday

Early Birthday

For an early birthday present my wonderful sis-in-law Jana bought me new ornaments and decorated our Christmas tree while Mike and I were out. It is so pretty. I absolutely love it! I've never had a put-together tree before. She will have to come decorate it ever year so it always looks this good. The kids made some gingerbread men and train ornaments of their own and put them on there too. I need to find a peppermint candle now.
