Trimming!

I'm trying to savor this Christmas season.

I think I will blink my eyes and these girls of ours will be grown and gone.

Every year we have a Family Home Evening/Tree trimming party.

This year I had it all ready...the treats...the decorations....and realized I had forgot the tree lights! No decorations can go on until the lights are in place! So we had our treats, and put off decorating. Then I forgot and forgot some more to get the lights.

Finally, the tree is lit and quite pretty!

I threw out my big tree last year. It had survived FIFTEEN Christmases!

We are using a smaller tree, hoping to score a good 'after Christmas clearance deal' on a new one.

I really love the month of December!
