Tree Trimming


Sunday evening we trimmed the tree. We needed a ladder to reach the top, and there was a bit of a balancing act needed to get the upper branches adorned with lights. But then we had plenty of practice balancing on a ladder from our suet adventures... The final touch was the angel at the tippy-top. Gates tossed it up as no one could reach the very top. Finally it stayed, nestled in a branchy alcove way up high.

There's something so special about taking out the ornaments each year, thinking about how we got this one and that one and then placing them on the tree. It's one of my most favorite Christmas traditions.
