How lovely are your decorations!
Rich surpised us by coming home early from work yesterday. We were happy, but when he surpised us further by saying he was going to go get the tree, we became even MORE happy. He took Grace and Davy with him while the rest of us stayed at home to dig out the ornaments, vacuum the rug, and perform all the other necessary preparations. They arrived back home with a lovely, fragrant tree and very soon, the livingroom went wild with joyful chaos as we rapidly strung lights, broke ornaments, ran into each other, laughed, talked really loud, held Seth hostage on the couch out of the way, voted on whether or not to use red lights, and so on. *whew* It was crazy gleeful fun and somehow we all worked together and ended up with a most beautiful result.
Good to be Home 
One of my greatest memories growing up is decorating the tree with my family every year. And when we were done, we turned off all the lights, except the Christmas tree lights and drank hot chocolate. Oh to be young again, can’t wait to start these traditions with my own family someday!
Beautiful! Happy memories were made for sure!
