This morning, we took down our beloved Christmas tree. Like last year, it was difficult for Elizabeth to say goodbye and she spent some time trying to convince us that we should just go cut down another one. Although taking down the tree is pretty difficult for me as well (knowing that it will be 11 long months before we start decorating for Christmas again), once it is out of the house, I always feel like we gained a couple of hundred square feet in house. I know that Lee was quite relieved to get the girls play space back.
Elizabeth learns that the tree is coming down today.
There was no way we could get it out the door without taking it apart - that's what my dad used to do, so it seemed pretty normal to me, although Lee thought that it was evidence that this tree was way too big!
Yep, she's pretty upset
By the time Lee was done, that's about all that was left - oh, and several thousand pine needles.
Even Emily seemed to have a hard time saying goodbye.
