Today the Christmas tree came down. It looks like a mess, but that's what comes of letting your 9 and 6 year olds decorate it. Each girl insisted on gathering her own ornaments (the 1st Christmas, 2nd Christmas and so on, plus the ones each girl had made over the years) in one area which left the tree looking a little lopsided in places. But as much as I love the look of a well-decorated and color coordinated tree, I wouldn't trade all my homemade ornaments for a designer tree. Each one of our decorations tells a story, from the crocheted mittens my mother-in-law made to the ceramic Converse sneaker given to me by a dear friend.

Day 3: Bye-Bye, Tree
