It's always fun when it's time to put up the tree, except when Mom has to fight with the dang tree forever just to find all the connections for the lights - GRRR! And even better when she finally gives up and just adds an extension cord for the top layer. Regardless, alls well that ends well, right?
The 3 kids left at home had fun putting their ornaments on. Every year the kids look at the ornaments they've received from the last year and enjoy the memories. It's a little sad when I look at the boxes of ornaments that belong to Nate and Michael and realize they will stay in the boxes. I look forward to the day that they find a family and a home and I send them their own box of ornaments to start their tree.
The kids received their ornament for the year also - I always try to do something different. This year they received a Christmas Tree ornament made of felt. I also had to do some repairs on some older ornaments as well before hanging them on the tree. At the end of the day, our tree is beautifully lit and a fun reminder of the many years my kids have lived and dressed the tree. What a great way to start the Christmas season.
