i decided to go with just the miniature tree this year. i don't know why, but it seemed like the right thing to do. not to mention i wanted to have the tree out on the porch so it could be more easily seen. anywho, as i was unpacking all my ornaments, i realized that they kinda looked like candy in a way...not that i'm planning on eating any....but i can see why little kids would want to!

i know that i'm not going to have a chance to do this on friday, after thanksgiving, which would be my drothers. so, i'm into it now, with festive drink in hand, and holiday tunes in ear!!!!
