The tree & more...

Every year I pretend that it's a family project to decorate the tree and every year I take over.  Sure, I'll let the girls put the ornaments on here and there, but as soon as they're off to bed I "tweak" it to how I want it to look.  

NOT THIS YEAR!!!  This year I let the kids decorate the tree, right down to that fu fu angel on top (hubby did the lights).  Not bad if I do say so.  They had so much fun!   I really wanted to put our star on top instead of the angel but I was out voted 3 to 1.  So there she sits in all her glory.  I smile every time I walk by it!  Letting go feels good.
