Kent and I realized that we have bought our Christmas tree from the same Home Depot for as long as we have been "we"! (Knocking on 6 years folks.)
It is thoroughly a tradition now.
We brought it home and Kent and Greta did a very thorough (read slow) job of stringing up the lights.
With She and Him Christmas playing in the background, and Greta's little heart brimming with excitement over the little decorations, Christmas just keeps getting better and better.
(Children do that!)
Ps- Greta got her own little tree for her room, and it is her pride and joy. She placed all the ornaments herself, (see them grouped at the bottom?). When her tree is lit, and the lights are off, she starts to whisper. Probably from awe and beauty.
You know, grouping the ornaments at the bottom makes a lot of sense, now that I see it. That's where the presents go (the best part of a Christmas tree!), and the ornaments don't block the lights on the rest of the tree. Well done, Barley.
