Cookie Extravaganza and "The Great Fall"



April hosted her annual cookie exchange this last week. I love it! So many cookies, so little time.













On the less exciting side of life, we were having dinner last night and everyone heard a tremendous crash. We jumped up from the table to invesitgate the sound and found our lovely Christmas tree had fallen over. We had a 3% survival rate of the ornaments. The only group to have a high rate of survival was the Candy Cane grouping. Sadly, some of the most cherished ornaments were lost in "the great fall".


All that was left was a pile of broken ornaments, needles, and tears. Actually, the tears didn't pile up because we just had to laugh and clean it up. Turns out that the lower part of the trunk is totally rotten. We cut it off, reset the tree and are lucky enough to get to spend ANOTHER evening decorating the tree -- it is like a bonus.

Too funny! It must be the year of the falling Christmas trees. You'll have to check out our blog soon.
