What a difference a year makes!

 Christmas 2010

Our first Christmas together as a family.

 And here we are, one year later.

Laura talking up a storm. Hard to believe how far she's come. I get all teary eyed looking at these pictures.

Christmas Tree

                                               O Christmas Tree

O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree!
  How are thy leaves so verdant!
  O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
  How are thy leaves so verdant!

  Not only in the summertime,
  But even in winter is thy prime.
  O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
  How are thy leaves so verdant!

   O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
  Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
  O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
  Much pleasure doth thou bring me!

  For every year the Christmas tree,
  Brings to us all both joy and glee.
  O Christmas tree, O Christmas tree,
  Much pleasure doth thou bring me!
