Oh Christmas Tree!

Getting our tree every year is the same. We go with Will's sister Thomlyn and her family to get our trees together and then we put it in the house the next day. I turn on the Christmas tunes and then proceed to help Will get the tree straight in the stand and then he sits and watches me fend off the kids from putting ornaments on while I get the lights, ribbon, and garland on the tree. I have made it a tradition apparently to move every ornament he puts on, so he has decided to only watch. I know, BAD SANDY! I have never said I am not a control fanatic. Maybe that will be my new year's resolution. (Probably, not.)In my defense, I don't think he is all that crushed to not put them on the tree.This year was just as entertaining as the last few. Kaitlyn and Emily can never get enough ornaments on the tree. They would like to have as many as possible! They continued to put them on and sing Christmas carols together. Needless to say we were all relishing with the Christmas spirit, minus the disciplinary moments of me saying, " Kaitlyn leave your sister alone, she can put the ornaments wherever she wants." After awhile, I took a step back to see our handy work. Wow. I just started laughing. Apparently, Emily had a favorite spot on the tree.
