Let me take you back a long time and give you a glimpse of the Kirkpatrick house on Christmas morning. My brothers and I were ALWAYS up at the crack of dawn, as all kids are on Christmas morning. Mom was always easy to wake up (Even if it was never in a good mood!)but Dad took FOREVER (Still does!) Once we would finally get him awake, we would have to wait and wait til he got dressed so we could run down the hall and see what Santa left for us. But NO! We had to wait even longer. Why? He needed to take pictures of the TREE! Not the family around the tree. JUST THE TREE! Even the year it was a bush and not a tree he took a roll of film on it! This is the same tree that has been up and decorated since Thanksgiving weekend. Is it really that different on Christmas morning? And yes, I said a roll of film. This was pre digital camera days, so we had to wait while he "finished the roll up." Then, remember the rewinding of the film before loading a new one? Yep. Waited through that, too.
I have a funny feeling that even though these pictures have already been taken, Mom isn't going to be allowed to touch any presents under the tree until there are 50 MORE pictures snapped! (Really, they could fill an entire photo album with just pictures of trees!) There's also a LOT of pictures of Dad playing with our toys while we just got to watch. But that's another story!
It does look very pretty this year. Thanks Aunt Darla!
Can you see the angel on top? It's a rottweiller angel.
But THIS rottweiller is NOT an angel! Merry Christmas anyway Shyanne.

Actually the tree just got put up and trimmed last Friday because we are really behind this year.
Ok. THIS year. But when you had kids at home, it was ALWAYS Thanksgiving weekend. Let me know how many pictures get taken tomorrow morning!
