Merry Christmas!

This was what our Christmas tree looked like 4 years ago, when our daughter was 6 months old. We bought the live tree at The 99 Cent Store, along with a 99 cent string of lights.

This morning...

...Daddy and Daughter repotted our very weird-looking little conifer. (This is the tree's second time being repotted.) Isn't this the funniest looking tree you've ever seen? I don't know what it is. The needles are short and sharp, and long in some places, and they don't grow in bundles. (If anyone knows what this is, please leave a comment.)

We decorated our tree with a handful of ornaments, one of which is a felted otter that Daughter and I made together, and another is a knitted green bird from Peru (a souvenir from the Natural History Museum's most recent special exhibit - Egyptian & Peruvian mummies). The lights are the same ones we bought four years ago. 

Merry Christmas! :)
