December Days - 12.10.10

Last year Marcy and Makela decorated a tree with a Portland Trailblazers theme.  They went all out ordering special ornaments and ribbon, and did the whole set-up and decoration when us boys were out of the house.  Unfortunately, when we got home to see the results of their work, I guess we didn't respond as enthusiastically as they had hoped because they decided then and there that they wouldn't do it again - especially if we didn't appreciate it.

So, fast forward to this year and sure enough we don't have a Portland Trailblazer tree.  We do have one that celebrates the women in our house though.  It's very pink and all-around girly.  It's not a big tree, just a simple artificial one, but I have to admit....I like this one better than the Trailblazer tree.  Not that I didn't apreciate last year's theme - I really did!  I think I just like this one because it does celebrate the girls in our house.  There is so much stuff that our family does centered around the boys and their interests and activities that we need to do more for the girls.  If something as simple as a tree is a way we can start, I'm all for it.  Like the tree, the girls make our house a happier home.
