Putting Up the Christmas Tree

If it had been up to Misha, we would have put up the Christmas tree the Saturday before Thanksgiving, but I made her wait a week.  It was nice to celebrate just one holiday at a time.  The girls were pretty good about helping, but they all petered out after a couple hours and I spent a couple more hanging garland and cleaning up.  It was an all-day process, but the results were lovely.

At night.  And at night I mean at 5:00 pm since that is when it gets dark around here.
