"Burke's tree had an airplane theme, with Santa flying through the air, as well as lots of other little airplanes diving down through the branches. John Andrew's tree reflected a western theme with cowboy hats, saddles, bandanna bows, and ornaments to mirror his life as a "cowboy" student at the University of Colorado. In Melinda's bedroom, I put up a three foot tree festooned with paper dolls and pink and white Victorian lace. JonBenet helped me decorate the full size angel tree in her room with items we had picked up in our travels and ornaments from her baby years, like her pink tennis shoes. She had one special glass angel that she hung on her tree because it reminded her of Beth."
"Down in the kitchen, I had about a dozen birdhouses displayed year around as decorations a top our cabinets. So on a corner of the kitchen counter, I placed a three foot tree filled with bird nests and ornaments made out of birdseed. Upstairs in the children's play room, I decorated a whimsical eight foot tree with nursery rhyme characters, teddy bears, and Donald Duck and Mickey Mouse ornaments. Finally, our master bedroom had a full size artificial tree glistening with gold, silver, and crystal ornaments. In addition to the garland of pearls and white pearl lights, I hung hand blown glass I'd brought with me from West Virginia." [DOIpg93]
