Our Christmas tree

I managed to put up our Christmas back to its spot every Christmas season sometime last week and while I was doing it I missed those little hands that always do the hanging of the ornaments on the Christmas tree, my little helpers who love to do the job without being told. Yes, they were not here when I decided to put up the Christmas tree because they were in the school. I decided to do it that way because I wanted to give them a little surprise when they come home and I was so excited to see what would be their reaction once they saw it. Well, the moment they saw the Christmas tree with the Christmas lights on, I can't tell how surprised and happy they were. David whispered to me that he loves our Christmas tree. This is our first Christmas since I arrived here (1998). We bought it few days after Dorothy was born and until this time we are still using it. It has plenty of Christmas memories already, that's why I didn't bother to buy a new one, not just yet. And besides it still looks good as new.
It is still bare underneath the tree for I haven't done our Christmas shopping yet and plan to do it early this week while the kids are in school.
