Taking Down the Tree.

I've taken down the ornaments - but I need Steve to go get the storage boxes.

On Christmas day Danny declared that we should leave the tree up until we got ALL of the Christmas presents (we still have at least 3 or 4 outstanding ). I said it's coming down Monday. It would be great if the stars and the UPS trucks would align and everything get here today - but either way, the tree's on its way down. I've taken off the ornaments and garland, Danny helped me take off the colored lights - all that's left is for Steve to take it apart and put it in the storage box.

Our old tree was much more of a pain to put up and take down. We gave it to Stephanie and Cory, but I think I must have some residual guilt, because we went over and set it up for them AND took it down - and by "we" I mean Steve and Alex with a little help from Danny and me.

This was our second year with this tree - I have really enjoyed the compactness and ease of assembly - and it looks good even with nothing on it. If only that could be said of all of us.

What is it 'they' say? The best birth control is old people, naked!
tee hee Only up-to-two-year-olds are still cute naked!

However, the said Christmas tree does look lovely...nearly nude.

I'm kinda done having our tree up as well. I'm only slightly motivated to put it away, if I start taking it down the kids will want to help and I'm not sure the tree can handle that much "loving".
