Better Blogging Ahead

For the two of you who still check the blog anyway.

Today, I had a little mini-dream come true. I've always wanted two Christmas trees...one family tree and one "fancy" tree. We've just never had the space; I'm not sure we do even now, but I made it happen anyway, thanks to a Black Friday cheap-o tree we picked up last week and some ornaments courtesy of Target's post-Christmas sale last year. We put it in our bedroom, and I had a ball decorating it this morning. All by myself. No darling clumps of ornaments at three-year old level, no fighting over who got to put on what ornament. Ha! I wasn't a complete spoil sport, though. They did put the tree up for me in the first place, for which I was very grateful. After spending six hours winding lights on our huge family tree last week, I don't think I had another tree in me!

It's little, but it's lovely! Merry Christmas to me! I may even make the kids' dreams come true next year and let them have colored lights on the family tree, now that I have my own. (I'll still put my foot down at them blinking, though!)
