We carefully sorted the branches by size and then felt the magic in moment as the artificial tree came together from the stand up.
Daniel and Dallin worked beautifully well together in helping to assemble the tree. Two boys who struggle to play nice these days suddenly united in purpose.
You could feel the spirit of Christmas in the air -- it had changed things for us. We had stopped answering the phone, we had stopped running errands, we were still. My thoughts drifted to the words of my favorite Christmas song..."Silent Night. Holy Night. All is calm. All is bright."
I watched as my children's faces were lit by the tiny white lights. There is nothing quite like that glow.
The night was full of sweetness, laughter, and true joy.
I tried to capture as much of the fun as possible on camera so as to share it with you. Enjoy.
