This year, we bought our tree from the Sea Scouts, who literally participate in Scouting on the Sea. So basically, a bunch of young teenage boys who are beginning to grow facial hair helped us pick out a Christmas tree in the middle of Palo Alto. We found the perfect one and had it delivered later that night after the girls were in bed. When Holly woke up in the morning, she was in full admiration. "Wow!" "Ay yike it," (I like it) and, "Cool" was what she said. We never have to remember to plug in our tree. Holly does it for us. She loves admiring it and she loves playing with the ornaments. We're in full Christmas adoration over here. This truly is the best time of the year. I love that Christmas brings my little family together for fun activities. Our family grows stronger every Christmas season! We feel extra blessed to have my Mom in town this week.
