We finally got the tree up last night. Don't know if all the other Christmas decorations will make it out this year, but the tree is done. Here's a few photos that I took after we were finished. Jacob was my little helper. He thought climbing the ladder was what he needed to do, but we finally convinced him that his Grandpa would be hanging the ornaments at the top of the tree. I still don't have my lighting right, but I'm always ready to practice. This is my daughter with Jacob. Not sure why they look grainy to me...hmmmm...need to get the book out and read a bit more about photography. I love this shot. Jacob was so intent on staightening the ornaments that he didn't notice I was taking his photo. This one is cute because he was looking at his reflection in one of the ornaments and making faces at himself! LOL! Just need to move this one just a little bit more..... Ahhhhh...the tree is finished. Let's just sit here for a minute and look at all the pretty lights and ornaments.

Thanks so much for stopping by. My wish for you this season is that you will have a joyous and peace-filled Christmas with your family and friends. I know my family will spend time together at Christmas, and I hope you get to spend time with your family too.

Beautiful tree, Susan! I can't believe how much your daughter looks like you...wow! Your grandson is so cute, too. Happy holidays, my friend!

I get that same grainy look in my photos like that too. You figure it out, let me know... cause you know I'm not gonna crack the spine on my instruction manual. All of the photos of Jacob are so cute - I especially like the one where he's making silly faces into the ornament's reflection. Have a wonderful holiday and keep capturing those memories.
