Friday I finally got around to decorating my Christmas tree (I would have decorated on Monday, but after rejecting the too-expensive decorative ornament hooks from Target I went to Robert's
where they didn't order ornament hooks this year--clearly Robert does the ordering there). When I was home over Thanksgiving and purchased my ornaments I found these bejeweled wires that I thought would be fun to fashion into a tree topper. However, let's remember that my invention skills aren't quite up to par: remember the
Jack Bauer reaching stick?
So for my imagination-needed tree topper, I commissioned an engineer. After my work Christmas party, Josh and I headed back to my place where we decorated the tree and he fashioned the tree topper, which eventually included not only the jeweled wires, but also a pen, two bent-out-of-shape ornament hooks, and a hair elastic to hold the topper up straight.
Josh, your engineering schooling has schooled you well.

"clearly Robert does the ordering there" that's so funny!
I might need a close up in order to decide how many to order for next years rush at Black-eyed Susan!
Engineers....I like their thought process!
Very cute charlotte.
I'm a big fan of the plaid. True story.
Hang on. Robert's didn't order ornament hooks this year?? That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard!
Sounds like maybe Josh, like Emily, has been through a few years of Destination Imagination teamwork. I still can't believe that Roberts didn't order ORNAMENT HOOKS! Like maybe we won't need them this year? Josh looks pretty satisfied with his handiwork--rightly so!
