This one will end up at the Joe, Jr’s house one day. Thankfully, he enjoys getting anything that came from his grandparents house. He truly loves to know the heritage of where his family came from. Makes me feel good to know that he wants to know who is family of the past was, and have things that came from them…..joe

My MIL made this small tree, about 10" high from the base, but also made a much larger one that has a base for the light socket, then three sections that fit together for a tree that's 12" around at the base, standing about 16" high. My daughter, our youngest of three, took it three or four years back. I think I put it up the first Christmas after Susan was gone, and my daughter took it for the next year. I'm not sure where this smaller one will find a home, but if neither of the boys move quick enough I expect that she will claim it too. It's indeed good when the kids care about the heritage, and where things started.

Merry Christmas, ya'll!
