There's nothing I love more than to watch my children, giddy with quiet excitement, gently picking up then carefully placing each delicate ornament on the waiting tree. Ummm... the excited part was true but the rest a bit of a stretch. I was grabbing the breakable ornaments like mad, ensuring that none of them broke into a million pieces on our hardwood floor as their little feet pitter-pattered amidst their joyful antics. Lots of happy noise. Their enthusiasm was making me nervous, so I confiscated all of the glass ornaments. Then Tom and I turned up the Christmas tunes, sat down with some pulla and hot chocolate, and let them go to town. The final result was stunning... if not a bit bottom heavy. :)
