IMPERFECTION

Like many of you, each year after Thanksgiving, we put up our Christmas tree. This year, was perhaps a little more stressful. Some of the lights were out on the tree and we couldn't find all of the boxes for Christmas.

The star is always a big deal at our house. So, we put it on 3 times this year, not wanting anyone to miss out on their turn!








Looking closer, you'll see the following:

Walle with his missing head

Homemade one eyed Rudolph

Baby boy with first words ... that are missing

Gingerbread girl with the store tag still attached

But then, I see these 3 beautiful, smiling faces looking at me.

I was surprised at the smile after the tree was put together. It certainly isn't department store worthy, but it's perfect for our family.
