Mom has been sleeping on the couch lately for the back support and you've been having trouble sleeping through thenight, ending up in mom's spot in our room usually around 2:30 or so in the morning.
On a normal day whene everyone is in their proper places I'll get up around six, make a cup of coffee and go about my morning. But, with the shift in sleeping arrangements I've been staying in bed until everyone wakes up so as not to disturb mom and let her get her rest. Today, it was a little after 8:30 when everyone was up and ready to go.
We did our best to try and ramp up the excitement but you weren't having it.
I brought up the large green bag with the tree in it, all of the boxes of decorations and bulbs and nothing ... you were more concerned about what cartoon was on TV.
We repeatedly called you over to the corner of the dining room to take a look. You'd peek in, look for a second and leave.
Okay, so much for creating a new tradition.
Mom and I got to work.
It wasn't until the lights were up and we began to put bulbs on that you wanted to be a part of things.
We handed you bulbs to place and you'd group for or five in a spot that mom would come by and help you adjust. Or, I would lift you up so you could put a few higher up.
We wanted you to do the honor of placing the Angel on top of the tree, an Angel we purchased at a shop in downtown Saratoga Springs, NY during a family trip to see Uncle John, Aunt Kelly and Paige in 2008. So, when we were all done with the lights and decorations I lifted you to the top!
As you can see, you refused to put clothes on and helped us decorate in nothing but your unnies and socks.
