Oh Christmas tree...how lovely are your branches

My mom has asked me to post a picture of my real Christmas tree. I like the other Christmas tree picture that I already posted - but oh well. So here is my real Christmas tree for all to enjoy.We had a fun time decorating the tree, especially figuring out the lights. Ryans parents let us take a bunch of old Christmas lights that they weren't using so that we could put them on our tree. When we finally got around to putting them on, we realised that they were icicle lights! Ryan thought that he could still make them look good on the tree - so here is a picture of his attempt. They stayed on for about 10 minutes and then we took them down.
We had our first big snow storm this week. We have been very lucky so far and have had decent weather, but I think that is all over now! It snowed all day on Wednesday and it is getting really cold. Here is a picture looking out of the window of my warm apartment.
I went for a walk today and discovered that no one shovels the sidewalks in my neighborhood! The little patch of road that you see is from where cars were parked. The sidewalk is still completely covered. Next time I will have to stick to the main roads on my walks.

Haha. Good job on the lights Ryan. We had a good laugh. Olive really likes your star. We are missing a star on our own tree and Olive gets pretty upset about it. We miss you guys.
