A New "Star"...on Our Tree

When we unwrapped our ornaments and Christmas star tree topper this year we saw our star was broken. We left our tree un-topped for awhile and then on a few different errand trips I came home with one...but the minute I walked in the door I knew it wouldn't work. Plus the look on the rest of the family's face pretty much told me it was going back :). The second one, pretty much same story, just too much, not fitting for our tree, our family and our personalities. You see we take Christmas tree decor pretty serious around here, including the tree topper. Daddy came to the rescue by walking around the house almost waiting to spot the perfect fix, and fix he did! Take a look at the Studdert "Star" this year....

He even made his way into our picture...let's just say he has what it takes

to be the "star" at least for this year!

Christmas Eve Outtakes

Tim was messing around with his camera for Christmas Eve. Made me smile because he likes any new challenge (a little different than his wife) and he loves learning anything new...so he said he would love to learn to take good pictures (me too!!!) so 2012 may bring us both to a photography class or something...we shall see.


But in the meantime he had fun setting his timer to try and get a picture of all of us on Christmas Eve. We had quite a few laughs both during and then seeing all of the outtakes.

Tim ran so fast to beat the timer that he knocked into me and I started to

fall into the Christmas tree...

What really happens during pictures is captured...and shown!

 

Nice pillow in this shot...oh and Carter picking his nose

 

The winner and all time favorite Christmas 2011 shot!

After the month we have had this picture makes me laugh, smile and cry :) it is definitely one I am so thankful for! Many more Christmas pictures to post and Christmas will definitely be Studdert Style and go into January 2012...fun memories and pictures to share!
