Behold, the Hernandez Christmas tree, 2011. We've seriously had to change trees every year we've lived here for one reason or another.
2007--Nana & Papa's tree. Big, beautiful. Took up quite a bit of space, but ok, since it was just us two.
2008--Lola's first Christmas--had to go special with that one and get a REAL tree (Daddy's favorite kind!)
2009--Broke the tree rules and skipped it since we celebrated in Florida!
2010--Mom surprised us with a new, but smaller tree--perfect for our space.
2011--If you've seen Johnny in action, you know there was NO way we could put up a traditional tree this year--he would have toppled the thing over on himself and/or eaten every ornament!
I couldn't get over the guilt of Lola not having a tree of her own this year, though--so while Lola was at school last Monday, Johnny and I headed over to Target to pick out a special one for her. And as soon as Johnny went down for his nap, we opened the big box of ornaments and Lola decorated it beautifully--and then placed the Angel ever-so-lovingly atop the tree. When Johnny woke up, we brought it into their room and put it on their dresser. It's so perfect and will be in their room each and every year to come
I can't tell you how much I love sneaking into their room to watch our sweet angels sleep by Christmas tree light--the glow is magical.
