It always saddens me to take down Christmas decorations. This year we did it right before New Year's. Our poor tree was so dry (and yes I watered it faithfully) and dropping so many needles, that I decided I could wait no more. Bella thought she'd be a good "stand-in" for the tree after I took it out. (Notice her shirt? I don't know if you could read it. It says, "Sassy." My Uncle Robby and Marcie gave it to her....while they have only spent a little time with her...somehow they knew...hummmm.)
Since so much of Christmas this year went by without us knowing, we are already looking forward to next year....we promised the girls we would actually get outside lights up next year and make cookies for Santa and such! I can't wait! I do think I am going to leave up a Nativity set to remind us daily of the blessing of Baby Jesus! I hope we remember it all year!
