I’m not real big on celebrations and decorating but since I want my kids to grow up with happy Christmas traditions like I did, I understand that might involve actually putting up a tree.

And some lights.

And ornaments, of course.

We were all having a really great time until someone (not naming names, but he/she is blonde, blue-eyed, and of very small stature) spilled over Momma’s beer.  Behind the couch. We’re not sure if said person actually drank any of it. If he/she did, it wasn’t much because he/she resumed hanging ornaments with no trouble at all. The same cannot be said of Momma. She had a little trouble maneuvering around the tree and had to “catch” her balance on several occasions (I swear it wasn’t the beer… the MS made me do it).

And then the finishing touch – the angel on the top!

Luke did a great job hanging ornaments but Natalie was no help at all, unless you count sitting around looking pretty. If that counts, she scored a perfect 10!
