Bradshaw Tree 2008


Thus far in the holiday season we have been tree-less. The artificial tree we used last year had seen better days and we threw it out once the season was over. While pondering where to find the best bargain on a new one Matt surprised everyone by going out last night and bringing home a real, live Christmas tree! This is our very first live tree and I'm only hoping the needles don't fall out en masse, making a huge mess all over the living room floor. Regardless of the upkeep that is to come it is a thing of beauty, isn't it? What I love most about our tree each year is how much history and personality it displays. It is covered in ornaments that Matt's mom mailed us a few years back and also many knickknacks from my childhood. Almost every year of our lives is represented. And this year we have the joy of buying Miles' first stocking! The Bradshaw house is now filled with the Christmas spirit and we can't wait to share the pride we have in our festive, embellished home with family and friends. Matt and I have discussed having a potluck one weekend this month. Anyone interested?

Also, if you'd like to see video footage of Miles helping us trim the tree and his wonderment at all the decorations check out our channel on Youtube.
