we decorated the trees last night. the kids and i did.
they played pack mule with the boxes of decorations, while i directed traffic.
maybe now that we have this done, i can catch the spirit.
it was a good idea when i got it a few years ago:
3 small artificial trees. 3 small non-artificial children.
it's a good ratio.
the trees are small, less small and slightly bigger-sized; so are the kids, so each kid gets to decorate their very own tree, with their very own ornaments.
but times change.
the little guy's not happy with his tiny shrub now that he's taller than the tree. he says it shrunk since last year; he doesn't realize how much he's grown. he's also made so many ornaments at school, that his shrub won't hold them all anymore. and he wanted to use them all!
the other 2 are happy. once the trees are on the table, they're taller than they are.
except one kid is taller than the little guy's shrub, even on the table.
and that's a reason to tease.

I think the three trees idea is pure genius, and so very you.
