I told Luke that we could glitter and glue the other side of the stars after he woke up from his nap, so the stars could have a chance to dry. After I told him that, he put his head down on the table, closed his eyes for approximately 2 seconds, and then said something along the lines of "I feel better now! Let's do our stars more!" Below is a picture of him pretending to nap.
So we finally decorated our Christmas tree last night! Yeah! I've insisted on getting a real tree every year since we've been married. I always forget how much work it is though! Our tree has come a long way since that first year when all we had on it were just a few glass balls and a homemade popcorn garland. (I miss my popcorn garland. I just don't want to spend the time to make it!) Our tree is pretty eclectic with no real theme. I have tried somewhat to stick to the traditional red and gold colors. I think one of my favorite parts of Christmas is getting to see all of my ornaments again. I'm totally stealing this idea from my cousin Jessie's blog, but here are a few pictures of my favorite ornaments. It was so much fun that maybe I'll look into becoming a professional ornament photographer, if there is such a thing!
I bought this one for our first Christmas together after we got married. It's already been broken and glued back together once. I think that adds to it's charm!
The nutcracker and nativity ornaments I got in Germany. I'd say that about 90% of my favorite ornaments I got in Germany when Ty and I chaperoned the high school German Club trip in June 2006.
This is just a random ornament that I've always liked. In the background is a handmade angel ornament that I got in Prague in the Czech Republic.

That's awesome you did a craft with him. I'm never the type to get all crafty with my kids either, but when you do it, it's worth it! and love the ornaments.
Once again, beautiful pictures! Thank you! I wish I had a good camera. My camera makes every tree shot look all blurry.
Your tree is beautiful, Rach! It's fun to see all your awesome ornaments. You've been a lot of places! And I don't mind a little copy-cating, ya gotta remember those ornaments cuz they're sappy and mean so much for some weird reason.
