Despite a fever, ear infection, and the beginnings of a cold, I put on the first Christmas tree ornament this year. It was the pineapple ornament that Gab bought us at The Breakers (Newport, RI) this past summer.
I admired my handiwork...and then.....
....I was tired.
The question is...was I tired from decorating or from the story that Mama insists on telling about every ornament she unwraps...who, what, where...ugh. Isn't it enough that I wore this ridiculous hat?
Here is a picture of the finished product. It turned out nice and looks very pretty in person, especially at night. Mama was bummed that the topper didn't fit this year, but Papa is formulating a plan to get it up there. Frankly he is sounding very "Kaiser"....like you can fix anything with foil or tape.

Happy to see more pics. You look so cute in the hat and new? shirt mama bought recently. Honored my ornament was the one you put on the tree. Good job. love gab
The tree is beautiful. I spent time looking at all the neat ornaments. In a few years you will have enough for your own tree. You will have one more at xmas this year. wish you were here to help me "fluff" all the paper. love gab
Where did mama and papa get the reindeer? Very cool. gab
Uh Oh, the transformation is almost complete. Kaiser holiday improvise #17: A little duct tape and staples and it will at least get you through the season. Looks great! Tell Gus and John we say hi.
