The tale of the wobbly trees.
Once upon a time,
in a land not so far away (well, far away for some of you),
lived a princess named Ivy.
She ruled the land with a fair and even hand.
Okay, she didn’t really
and the people of the land would argue with the above statement
until they were blue in the face
but
it sounded good.
Anyway,
the princess declared that the castle be decorated
as Christmas was near.
So all of the pretty, shiny ornaments were pulled from the royal shed and the tree dusted off
and the abode suitably decked out in all things celebratory of the season.
It was beeee – you – ti – ful.
There was a mystery in the kingdom though.
Two of the ornaments were often missing.
Two wire trees.
Often the royal servants would find them hidden somewhere
or
trip over them.
One day
a chamber maid discovered it was the princess removing the trees.
The princess!
The chamber maid replaced them
but the little princess was often found carting them away again.
“but why?” asked the maid, confused.
“I just don’t luff the wobbly trees” the princess replied.
The chamber maid could not argue with that
and so there is no end to this story (at least not until the end of the Christmas season)
because
to this very day the wobbly trees still offend the little princess.
I don’t think i’ve ever seen so many glimpses of your home before – it looks like your house is as beautiful IN as it is OUT !
Luff the story and the piccies too
Luff that girl!!!!
luff that bag tooo……….LOL
Oh how sweet…
OMG that is the cutest and funniest thing I have heard today. And her facial expressions… I love it!
LOL. Very cute!
That is precious!
Ivy makes life worth living.
I love the expression on her face – so cute! I like wire trees – I own one and it stands happily on the television stand – it’s just something a little different.
Ha!
Oh my gosh, how cute and how adorable Ivy is in those photos. One day, hopefully I will get there with my new camera. I bought me a Canon Rebel XS for Christmas, and I adore i. Be sure and check out my photos on my blog. Give me suggestions please master photographer. I can use some help please.
Have a wonderful Christmas, and hope those two trees survive.
She doesn’t luff the trees? Don’t put them out. Or put them where they won’t be seen by her too much?
I plan on buying a small wire tree, if there’s any left, in the after christmas sales. I can use it to hang all my christmas earrings on.
She’s an old soul, that princess, and she knows what she likes! I’d be tempted to humour her, and use the wobbly trees to decorate my bedroom or something! All your ornaments look beautiful to me! And I didn’t get a chance to comment on your post where Ivy chose sleeping with you over presents from Santa (small boy emergency – you know how that goes!) but it moved me to tears. Whenever you have self-doubts, hold that moment in your mind. You’re doing what most needs to be done, and your children know that they are loved and safe in your embrace, and that’s the only thing that matters.
Merry Christmas!
Aww bless her. A very sweet story.
And I thought the days of fairy tales were long since over….Leave it to four year olds.
Oh LOL that is too cute!! Love her grumpy face in the one shot.
LOVE what you do with the baubles in the big vase.
Perhaps something about them reminds her of wires and hospitals.
I like them under the table! If she doesn’t luff them, the girl can’t help it.
Cute and oh so determined.
This post just made my day. Thank you.
This post is so perfect for submission for this week’s I heart faces entry. I really think all that website’s regulars would love it! It will bring such merriment & joy to all who view it. Go on…….just do it!
The photo ‘I just don’t love the wobbly trees’ is priceless. God Bless her and all her gorgeousness
I have never – ever – come across a cuter, simpler, more gorgeous blog post in all my years of reading them, from many blogs around the world.
That. Was priceless!
