Nelly the Christmas tree

Tori names everything from our GPS to our Thanksgiving turkey. (kinda hard to eat something with a name). Not me. I am not into naming things, Some poeple like to name their car and bike, the way I look at it, My kids are lucky they have names. I out did myself when I gave them a first and a middle. (although admittedly I copied each of their second names from someone else!)

 

 

However, I felt a real connection to this tree. It was so soft and smelled so good. It was such a good price and fit right inside our van without much issue. I even hugged it when I got it home and I have never been known to be a tree hugger either! I named it "Nelly"

 This tree has unique...lets, say.....properties! When we stood it up, we realised one branch grew straight up and then out . I offered to trim in but the kids refused and probably still under the power of the tree, I agreed as to not "Hurt" my new friend Nelly.

Seth took it on himself to dress Nelly's odd branch with as many ornaments as possible. But Nelly's oddities do not stop there...She spits ornaments. No joke. We were sitting there digging through our ornaments and ones we already hung would come flying off! It never fails if I am out of the house for a bit and come home. I find more ornaments on the ground, and not always right next to the tree.

Tori declared herself "Tree Master" since Logan was gone and hung the star. Nelly would have none of that. The star slid down just enough so that her tallest branch was just a bit taller than the star.

Don't believe me? Come on over. Check it out!
I took many more pictures of our Tree decorating, but most of them were blurry. I don't think I took them on Nelly's good side. These were the only ones that came out well.
