Colin and I set up the Christmas tree Monday evening. We usually do that on the weekend after Thanksgiving but we were so busy running around that it had to wait until Monday. Bill had to work Monday evening since some soldiers were returning from the desert so it was just Colin and I. One of our traditions is that the first ornament to go on the tree, and that last to come off it when it comes down is the ornament named "Pierre" that Bill made when he was 5 or 6. Colin was worried about "breaking tradition" since it is Bill who places Pierre on the tree, but Bill entrusted him with this important job and assured him that it would be OK to do it this way so Colin finally accepted this.
Colin also suggested we try putting the tree in front of the window, we didn't think we had room for it to be there but we gave it a try and surprisingly it is workable. Whoever sits on the far end of the couch won't be able to see the TV but Colin pointed out that people sitting there are usually reading or doing something else so it doesn't matter. True!

Hey, girlfriend. I can get on afterall! My tree has been up but slowly trying to recover from the snow and ice to get the rest of my stuff out of the shed to get up before Steven comes home! I had to laminate one of Steven's ornaments that I have been worried about this year that was getting pretty sad looking but with the laminate, hopefully it will survive for many years to come. It is a cardboard gingerbread man he made when he was six. Can't wait to see pics.
