O Christmas Tree!

 Yule tree 2010 has been decorated and adorned.  It is amazing that it can stand for the weight of the 5,289 ornaments that adorn it! LOl  Above, K took this picture of us under the tree post decorating.

And then KC took this picture of us.  He is quite the photographer.  And in an interesting side note, this Sunday Chet got up in church at joys and sorrows.  He first commented on a close friend who was in church after a lengthy absence due to illness. It was very sweet.  Then, the man who never really helps set up the tree, announced to the church that we had brought our tree down from the attic and that he was excited because there would be "a bit of decorating" going on at our house this afternoon.  He really doesn't help with decorating. He puts on a couple ornaments but it seems to overwhelm him and he always voluntarily retreats and then comes back for the picture.  But truly, I guess the moral of the story is, we really don't know what memories we are making and we need to trust that even in the hardest of times, there are some good ones being made.
