Mouse Tree....

This is how it all started...

Over 35 years ago when Bob had just began teaching

a "Mom" gave him 12 of these handmade hand painted Meeses!

The body a walnut shell the face a hazelnut...a sweet homemade quilt & a rubber band tail!

So, over the years he added different homemade ones

...in those days that was all you could get...

Then we got married

and as the years trucked on we added ones that where kinda memory related

or just darn cute!

People bought us ornaments....the kids picked many.

We have bought things that have a some meaning

(e.g. Starbucks Christmas ornaments...) and added mice to them!

And then on top, a Mouse Angel...

paper banners that say ...

"and to all a good night"

&

"not a creature was stirring not even a mouse!"

...and we have a

Mouse Tree!

There is one Cat ornament!...some ladders & pearl rope.

It takes hours to decorate & undecorate...and if we even mention

"well maybe we won't put it up"

Whoa......well its allways gone up!

Merry Christmas!

p.s. we also have an angel tree & the winterwonderland tree

yes...three!
