Our special tree.

Every year for Christmas we ALWAYS have real Christmas trees at my mom's house. That's just the way it's always been. Well, this year is a little different and for very good reason. As many of you know, my Grandma is dying of cancer. It's honestly gotten so bad that we all know she won't be around for much longer after Christmas. It's breaking our hearts and I hate every moment of it. But since it will be our last Christmas all together as a family we want to make it as special as possible. The Christmas tree that we have put up in our house is my Grandma and Grandpa's 30+ year old Christmas tree. It's beautiful and it brings back so many memories from Christmases past. My aunts, uncles and cousins know nothing about us having it, so hopefully it will be as special to them as it has been for us.
