we finally got the tree up and decorated tonight. apparently madeleine is terrified of christmas trees. as soon as i brought it in the house, she started screaming. so instead of consoling her, i took a picture:
she seems to be over it for the most part, but she still doesn't go too close to the tree. i'm hoping this keeps up. i still made sure that no ornaments are within her reach.
after several location changes, our tree found a spot.
and then i decorated it. it's good to know that some experiences are universal. randy patiently helped me get the tree in the stand, straightened it, and then hauled it to three spots before landing it in its current location. as soon as he was done with that though, he wasn't too interested in decorating. hmmm... seems reminiscent of my childhood.

At least you were mentally prepared to be the sole decorator. It was a blow to me, because my dad did all the lights,then helped with the ornaments and it was a big family affair with music and everything when we did the tree. Somehow that all disintegrated with our family. Well, we had fun, even if your dad wasn't a full participant. Now I'm back to solo. You and I should come help each other next year.
