We agree on most things in our household. We are on the same page about parenting and food and television. One of our small points of early contention was the Christmas tree. Not real vs. fake or light colors, but timing. Michele would like to have it up the day after her birthday (that is Dec 1st) and down some time after the new year. I, given my choice, would put it up about a week before Christmas and put it all away on the 26
th. We have, over the years, found a happy middle... second week of December. That was this weekend, so away we went.
This is the first year that Alex has really been involve on a higher level. She helped pick out the tree and then charmed the men helping us load it up.
She helped put on lights... and only two were broken in the process! I feared the number would be far greater. She had fun... even though all of her ornaments were placed in one area and needed some rearranging.
When we were all done, she was so proud and so excited. She has been informed that it is her job to turn on the tree every day. She thinks she's pretty cool. Merry Christmas!!

Merry Christmas! Growing up, we each regularly broke an heirloom ornament. So I think only two lights is pretty good!
What fun and your tree looks lovely. You must be having the time of your life with Alex this year. She is so awesome, smart and funny that during this time of the year it must be a hoot. Thanks for sharing.
