tree'd

For the second year in a row, DH put up the Christmas tree. DD was much more involved this year, but still DH did most of it.

It's weird, suddenly having a tree without having to go through the whole process of assembling it, wrapping the lights on, then doing the garlands and the ornaments and all that jazz.

But it's very nice.


DD asked about taking a picture. I told her that the tree always looks the same from year to year , so there really isn't much point. That sounds so Grinchy! But it's true! (See for yourself: 2004)

But even though it's true, I'm happy to take the picture. (And looking at last year's picture, I'm struck by how ugly our old curtains were. What were we thinking?)
