We traveled from Colorado to Utah for Thanksgiving this year. It was my brothers' year to be with our family and not their in-laws. So, it was nice to have ALL of my siblings, and ALL of my neices and nephews there, along with my father and his wife, Sherri.

A Family Tree
Our tree is no longer a designer tree. It doesn't match anything in particular. It doesn't have a color scheme. What it is, is a family tree. Every year one of our highly anticipated family traditions is to make our way on the first Monday of December, to a Hallmark store and let each kid pick out an ornament. They aren't cheap ornaments, but they are well-crafted and they most often reflect the kids' interest or favorite movies in the prior year. We have a lot of Harry Potter themed ornaments...and Mickey Mouse too. One of the first years were were doing this, Isabel chose a pretty bird, and I kept that tradition going. I buy a "Beauty of Birds" ornament each year (and there are usually 2 full size and 2 small). My tree has a lot of very beautiful birds in it.
