CATCHING UP - TUESDAY 18th, THE TREE

I know that the exposure etc on the photo are odd - but it was the only photo from a few that showed that the lights were on! I took it before the angel was put on the top.

We spent yesterday morning decorating the tree. I decorated whilst trying to keep Alice away from the tree and the boxes of decorations! I tried to put the more Alice-friendly bits towards the bottom and many baubles didn't make it onto the tree this year (in fear of the Alice effect on the ornaments or tree!) Although the tree has plenty of decorations on it, you'd never know I'd even started the decorating by the looks of the boxes - they're still virtually full. Anticipating the next few years - while Alice and then Lil Sis are small, I think I may need to have a more sophisticated tree with the delicate ornaments (the ones with many memories) somewhere out of small people's way!
