Aaron, Megan, and Claire picked out a nice family tree to decorate this year on the snowiest day in December so far. We received 8 inches of snow that day! The tree usually took Megan and I about 3 -4 hours and one nice bottle of wine to decorate, this year it took 3 days and no wine. There are now 7 Patterson family ornaments on the tree, one for each Christmas we have spent together. There are also lots of "baby's first" ornaments around. This may be the last year we can put even the most fragile ones close to the ground!
