Christmas Tree is Up!

This is definitely the LATEST I have ever been in getting up our Christmas tree. But the boxes left on Tuesday morning and it took me all of Wednesday and Thursday morning to get the living room/dining room cleaned up. Thursday night Rick and I put up the tree. It is, of course, as beautiful as ever. Every ornament is a memory. When Rick and I first got married I started a book cataloging all the ornaments we had (where they came from, some memory attached to them). It is always fun to look back and SEE those memories. Audra told me that she is doing the same thing!

Because I am so late in getting my tree up, I think I will leave it up for the entire month of January - just to enjoy and appreciate it!

Chelsea and Ross will leave Nashville a week from Sunday. they are both excited about the upcoming visit. We can hardly wait on this end!
