Phil doing his favorite thing (and which he prefers to do by himself): placing the icycles, one at a time, on our tree last year, 2005, our first Christmas in Huntley.

The two of us with the marvelous Marshall Field's tree behind us, December 2004 when we brought the "AZ kids" to Chicago for a weekend as our Christmas gift to all of them.

As we entered an indoor mall in Sydney, Australia last December (2005), we had to walk underneath this Christmas tree in order to get into the mall itself. Just beautiful!
