" all i want for christmas is my two front teeth!"

real time memories in the making.

todays goal was to continue our family tree decorating tradition.

the tree has been up since sunday.

the branches have been positioned and repositioned.

the fake needles have been vacuumed up.

the train is running around in a circle - complete with horn.

being proactive for tonites event,

i spent an hour this afternoon carefully unboxing all the lenox

holiday ornaments and placed them gently on the couch.

i put new hangers on the bent ones.

i arranged them by size and weight.

i checked with colin to make sure we owned "the grinch" dvd

because i had visions of hot chocolate and whoville combined tonight.

the camera was charged.

the tree was lit.

i was ready for our everyday 'planned' memory.

-

and this was how it went in reality.

4 dudes + 6 minutes = 1 decorated tree.

no hot cocoa.

no grinch sewing antlers in the background.

no stringing fresh popcorn with a needle & thread.

and thats the best kind of everyday memory!
