Putting Up The Tree

We put the tree up early this year.  We have a tradition where we make ginger snaps and rice pudding and then we put up the tree while we indulge in the smell and taste of Christmas.  This year Audrey actually helped decorate.  It was really fun to see her face when I was putting on the lights.  She kept trying to blow them out while telling me that they were hot.  We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves.  Mostly I enjoyed being with my family.  I love them.
