Our Tree in winter

Then it snowed.

Guess no more tiki torches for a while.

Our Tree

We put up our tree on the terace just before our "Egg Nog Bash" party in December.

We planted it in a feed pail that we got at Lindell's. Inside is a layer of gravel for water topped by quick set post cement with a plastic jar up from the gravel so we can get water into the gravel through the cement. We decorated it with white lights, white and red ribbon with wire in it so we could get it to twist and dive around the tree. Apples from our apple tree. We bought seed blocks and cut them into small squares and then hung with ribbon. Same with popcorn balls. Joey made dove ornaments as "Bash" party favors and we hung some of those as well. Oh and (sorry Mom) remember those cupcakes you gave us... yep. On the tree.
