'Tis the Season to Trim the Tree

Tree trimming has become a pretty easy experience for Adam and I these days.  This year, the boys were so quick when we said "go" that I almost missed getting any photos!  Also, once they each got all of their ornaments on, the tree was so full that I was content with hanging just a couple of my very favorites.  They do a pretty good job of spreading the ornaments out evenly now, too, so, in the end, I just sat back and appreciated the beauty of our tree loaded with memories of Christmases past.  This year I did add an old-fashioned glass buoy float ornament that Tommy gave me from Cape Cod, and my mom contributed a cute little light house that she bought there, as well.  I love this sweet tradition, and I love it even more now that I can quietly and watch my kids share laughter and nostalgia as they place their ornament treasures from the past.
