Christmas is getting closer. I know this because Connie enlisted my help in making her Christmas Tree for this year. And most of you know that Connie rarely ever has a traditional Christmas tree. This year is no exception to that rule. She actually had this idea quite a while ago and this is the year it came to be. It turned out great as most of her ideas do. We have both been skiing for many years and have lots of skis stored above our tack room in the barn. Well, up there she went and handed down a number of old skis to me. We put them together and made a pretty darn good tree. Decorated it with old ski passes and ornaments made out of wine corks. Connie is pretty darn talented and made some really neat skiing reindeer ornaments.
Dell likes sleeping in my Grandmothers chair near the fire. Especially when it is cold outside.
After one false start, we finally figured out how to get them to stand up with some sturdiness.
Moved it inside and started to decorate.
Connie's ornaments. She spent a few days working on these.
The top is starting to take shape.
Dell thinks we put this up as her personal play house. You can see she already has some of the lights off the skis.
Getting closer to being done.
After helping us with the tree, Zeph and Dell had to take a nap on the bed.
