Decorating The Tree
Our tree is lit up tonight, and filled with tiny festive wooden ornaments. Why wooden you ask? Well, one because they are my favorite, and two because we learned that Gracie is till too rough to get out our cherished ornaments that have been safely stored since she was born.Gracie had a wonderful time putting each little creature and angel on the tree. Having your own family at Christmas is such a special thing, I can't even describe. I hope all of you who have kids of your own still at home take the time to enjoy this season. And, if yours are grown, take time to remember what it was like when little hands were there to help.
We wish all of you a wonderful season, not just a Merry Christmas. Christmas is more than just one day, it is a season full of memories and wonderful opportunities to be a loving family.
What has your family done together this holiday season? I would love to hear about it. Fill up the comment section!
We finally got our tree up last night. We noticed this year that Lucie's eyes lit up as we picked up each silver ball and put it on the tree. I dropped a couple, and she got really excited as they rolled across the floor. She's done nothing but look so far, but we've not dared to put presents under there yet. We know that's when the trouble will start. We had our Christmas play at church tonight, and it was great. Elliott did a really good job despite the fact that he's been kinda sick all week (upper respiratory crud with a cough). The church was beautiful, especially during the candlelight song. Your tree is very pretty. Gracie, you did a great job decorating it. I thought about you last night and how you helped hang our ornaments on the tree last year! I understand the wooden ornaments. We have to be careful about dropping stuff on the hardwood floor!
ReplyDeleteHmm. Maybe I should get a tree. And some lights. Decorating my card catalog just doesn't have the same appeal 2 years in a row! Your tree looks great, ladies!
