The tree is trimmed

Our Christmas tree is a constant work in progress.

T and I have a tradition of buying one very beautiful ornament to put on the tree each year. So at the moment, the tree has fleeting moments of beauty, in amongst some pretty stock standard baubles. But each year the balance shifts. I love this ongoing transformation.

This year we bought the Wedgewood 'my first christmas' booties for the boys, and I can't wait until they start picking our their own decorations each year.

I can't guarantee that our tree will always be beautiful, but I can be totally sure that it will be grow to be more and more meaningful every year.
