Tiny Trees

Nothing is more festive than a Christmas tree. Matthew buys small live trees, wraps colorful textured fabric around their bases, and decorates with different color themes (depending on where he's placing the tree). He prefers no lights, while Jenny likes the multicolored ones, so they always have several "his and her" mini-trees scattered throughout the house. This one in the dining room carries their palette forward, thanks to red glass ornaments and birds with glitter-laden wings.
