Decking our Halls

When I was growing up, the girls always decorated the tree. Me and my sister were pros at it. By the time I was in high school, with Gretchen out of the house, My dad would set the tree up, put on the lights, and then it was just me with a box of ornaments and a glass of egg nog. My kids have always been so excited about setting up the tree, but this year I lost one. Gabe sat with dad and watched football while me and the Littles put up ornaments. It doesn't really matter, but it's a sign of growing up, I suppose. Sigh! :) I hope to hold Asher hostage for another few years ... and of course, I'm hoping Rhy sticks with me for the long haul. :)
