O Christmas Tree

Christmas Tree? In September?!?  Yes, you read that title correctly.  I said Christmas Tree.  Quick:  Where will the United States Capitol Christmas tree come from this year?  You've got 5 seconds to answer.  Go!  1, 2, 3, 4, 5...

Can't guess?  Why, the Colville National Forest of course!  Providing the White House's mammoth holiday tree is pretty big news around here, and the whole town has come together to be a part of this historic event.  Even the kids have gotten involved by making hundreds of ornaments that will decorate the tree.  The theme for the decor is "Sharing Washington's Good Nature," and both our kids and a neighborhood friend wanted to participate.  The fact that they were to make their ornaments at Grandma Nancy's workplace didn't hurt either!

Here are the kids crafting their ornaments:

Annabel's ladybug is first,
followed by Thane's dragonfly:

True, neither of the ornaments were created with traditional Christmas color choices, but I'm fairly certain that both will stand out in the crowd!
