looking like Christmas..
“Christmas, children, is not a date. It is a state of mind”
~Mary Ellen Chase
Our happy day of family and thanksgiving was ended upon the expectant note of things soon to come . . . treasures were hung and lights set all to sparkling, twinkling into the cloudy blue’s of my own small wonder.

Can’t wait to see all the Christmas arps and craps that you and Little Miss T do this season! It’s amazing how much of a difference there is between this year and last. They’re going to have so much fun and I do believe that 2 is when the memories begin to build…my three year old remembers last year’s Christmas, so…there you go. T will remember this special time as her “first christmas” though in reality it is not.

[…] day after Thanksgiving, we women of the house decorate the tree. Last year, T got to help for the very first time. This year, we had a brand-new first-time helper, and T has become the seasoned pro of the house. . […]
