The Penguin Tree
If, God forbid, I was only allowed to put one tree up, the penguin tree would be it. Sure it's not huge, and I'm not quite sure where the presents would go, but it's hands down my favorite tree (which is how it earned the prime real estate spot in the family room).
When I first told friends, family and Brent, my plans – I definitely received some, errr, looks. But I'm now happy to report how supportive everyone is about my penguin passion. One of my friends even brought me back a penguin ornament from Alaska.
As you can see, the tree is currently sans topper. While I really liked the penguin topper at Paper Source, I'd prefer something that's not made out of paper. So, I'm just going to hold out for now.
Some of the new penguin ornaments I've acquired this year:
I love it!!! I have really been enjoying your tree posts, I am going to try to get mine up next week- I have 5 trees of my own, so it might take awhile. I keep looking at your pictures and thinking, "I need to do a sweet tree! A penguin tree is a great idea." Marc is going to think I have gone Christmas crazy if I end up with 10 trees in the house! :D
ReplyDeleteSo adorable!! I'm a big penguin fan too :D
ReplyDeleteHow sweet! I love your penguin tree!
ReplyDeleteLove your tree! Our tree is 90% penguins! I made a topper finally after years of searching. Took a stuffed animal and cut a hole in his bottom, added a plastic cone inside, and hot glued it to prevent stuffing from coming out.
ReplyDeleteKatie – There is nothing wrong with 10 trees in a house. :)
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see all your trees.
I love trees and have 11 myself. My big tree in the family room is done in penguins. I have been collecting penguins for about 10 years and this is my favorite tree!
ReplyDeleteHow did I miss this post? I think I saw Tree #1 and expected the others to follow. Naturally, it's my favorite too.
ReplyDeleteThat pinecone penguin is my favorite!
