Oh Christmas Tree..

Oh Christmas Tree -- Oh Christmas Tree -- So beautiful and bright!!!  I can't remember if those are the exact words.  :)  I loved that this year, all I had to say was get the tree out and my kids did the rest.  I didn't have to do anything at all.  My babies went ahead a picked the spot for the tree.  Put it together.  Got all the decor out.  And hung 'em up.  Even got out the stockings and hung them up.  While they were decorating and putting on some of the homemade -- schoolmade ornaments we've collected over the years, we've decided to make a new family traditions and make a family ornament each year.  So now I'm looking around for some good ideas to make one for this year.   Tree check, wreath check, stockings check, snowflakes check...  And wah-la...its starting to look alot like Christmas up in hea.  I love that I was able to sit back and watch as they went to work.  My babygirl had the most fun and would have rathered done it herself.  It was a joy to watch them go at it, but I feel sad thinking that my babies are growing up.  I wish time would just slow down a bit.  Merry Christmas!!!
