Christmas is officially here!

Though late in posting, two Saturdays ago we had a WONDERFUL time as the Gearhart guys came over to my house and brought a REAL Christmas tree with them for my house. It is six feet wide and about 7 1/2 feet tall and it's amazing! There is no picture yet available but hopefully will be coming soon! This night was also a very special night as Andy watched for the first time in his life "It's a Wonderful Life". I, myself, grew up watching this movie as part of a Christmas time tradition and loved every minute of it, like always. I believe Andy really enjoy it and realizes he never had truly lived before but now can since he's watched it! :) The house smells great as the Christmas tree scent fills it up. The tree is now completely decorated with all the lights, ornaments from the collections of Andy, Jamie, Sarah and myself - we even have ornaments from Israel made of wood that the Gearhart's brought back with them. It is definitely a GREAT Christmas tree and we're loving it. Although somewhat larger than we probably need I think Andy does really enjoy having a REAL tree and hopefully sees how great they are and we should have them every year in OUR house! :)
