We did it! No, we did not stay up til 12 o'clock to ring 2011. All were fast asleep over here snug in our beds. But, the kids had a blast re-trimming our tree earlier in the day. A few short strands of cheerios even made it together by small hands. There was a lot of laughing & snacking though, especially by the little pipsqueak among us. And as with all family projects, you can guess who was still at the counter toiling away peanut by peanut.
A great rush of excitement came, however, when it was time for the actual trimming. On with boots & hats & out the door they went. And as the sun was setting on an old year, my loves danced around in the snow jockeying for the perfect spot to put another circle of cranberries for our feathered friends on our old dried out tree.
Wishing you all a lovely, fuitful 2011!
