One of our favorite days of the year is the day we get and decorate our Christmas tree. We found a beautiful one this year. It is tall and very full. Other families were admiring it as we were holding it up. Usually we know when we have found "the one", and this one was it. She was a feisty one though. It took THREE hours to saw, axe and prune her so that she would fit in the house. I guess we should have measured how tall our ceilings were, now we know!! We let the kids stay up until 10 while we decorated. They had a blast. We love to talk about the ornaments and find our favorites. We were all a little tired today, but it was worth it. It smells SO good and was worth all the needles and sap that came with it.
On a side note, when Judah got in the car today after school he said, "The girls were at the piano and made me sing Winter Wonderland, I did, and they were impressed." I thought this was so cute. I can just picture him singing that song to the girls. He showed me how he sang it and it melted my heart. He did a great job! My dad used to sing that to me at bed time when I was a very little girl.
