An up and down day. By late afternoon we finally started decorating our tree however. It gives me incredible pleasure. I mostly sat and pulled ornaments out of tubs and handed them to various boys. They all laughed at how many Uncle Mistletoe and Aunt Holly ornaments I have. They said the tree was full, I said tomorrow we will fit some more on.
We only have one tree this year so we have far too many ornaments. Some favorites are missing but there are many beloved ones, so it feels good. After we stopped, Leo sat and talked to us for hours. I feel so incredibly blessed. Those boys of mine....
I looked at our tree and thought about how much it looks like my childhood trees. Then I puzzled on that and wondered if it really did. I found some pictures, and yeah, it does.
This picture made me miss my big sister Judi so much. And I had to admire our pajamas that my mother sewed for us. Merry Christmas Judi.
