Christmas Tree - Green

One of the fun things we do on Hummingbird Hill is the tradition of buying a real Christmas Tree. We purchase a tree that is dug rather than cut, and has a great big rootball so we can plant it. The one problem is that the tree can not be allowed to dry out. We decorate the tree and leave it outside in front of the large window, rather inside the house.

Each one of our grandchildren get a tree that is "theirs". Of course lately, we have had more grandchildren than Christmases. Some just have to wait in line.

Donovan's tree is the largest (of course), and was already at HH. It is the one that gets decorated each year.




This is Donovan and group decorating his tree.










Iain's tree was also already at HH, and it gets decorated a little (more each year). Here is Iain and his tree.













Lina's Tree

Rory's Tree










Audra's














Alesandra's and Ella's (we had to move to the other side of the driveway).


This year was Dexter's. This is Dexter (with a friend) picking out his tree:

This is the first group of trees:


Next year is Gabby's and 2010 belongs to the unknown Baby Murray.

Aren't we blessed?
