We really considered putting this picture in our Christmas cards. Looks like we were having fun, huh? After much time of putting up the tree, we happened to have a few "incidences" along the way. Daniel first broke a snow globe (water and snow went everywhere), followed by breaking an ornament which gave him a small cut on his finger. It took much consoling and a band aid to make it all better. Mia kept breaking the candy canes and trying to eat them with the plastic still on. After getting the tree decorated, I decided to vacuum the floor. Daniel ran ahead of me, bumped into the tree which knocked down some of the bead garland in front of the vacuum; the vacuum sucked up about 6 inches of beads which make the loudest noise I've every heard from a vacuum. Daniel ran screaming from the room, "NO MORE CHRISTMAS! NO MORE CHRISTMAS! NO MORE CHRISTMAS!" Well, we had to capture that family moment on film... and here it is. Merry Christmas!
