A Productive Sunday Afternoon


The Christmas village is set up.
I don't get it out every year, but now I have a nice long mantel to display it on.

When I was done setting up the village, Kaitlyn asked if I wanted to put up the tree.  She lugged the biggest part up the stairs for me and put it together.  After that tremendous effort, she enjoyed watching Aubrey and I decorate the tree from her lounging position on the couch.

Aubrey getting into her work.

 Putting the angel on top is the finishing touch.

 The Christmas Tree is done!
