The following are some pics or our tree this year. When we traveled to Italy in February, we took a long journey north of Milan to the DeCarlini factory where we were able to meet the entire DeCarlini family. They are such kind people. They welcomed us in as though we were family. We got to take a tour of their small factory and were able to meet some of the ornament blowers that have worked there for decades. I will inlcude some pics from Italy below.
I am a crazy person when it comes to Christmas, and I am even crazier about my Italian ornaments and my Byers Choice Carolers. I have visited both factories and enjoyed each trip.
Some asked how my kids liked decorating the tree. Well, they haven't decorated one yet. They decorated the entire house and left the tree to me. Zack said, "Mom, when you are done, call me to see if you did a good job"!!! They wanted to watch a Christmas movie upstairs. I plan to get a small tree for upstairs which they will decorate with all kinds of fun stuff including popcorn!
Well, Auntie Gina has gone back to CA, and the kids are back to school so it's awfully lonely here! I think I'll go enjoy a cup of coffee by the tree before picking up the kiddos.
