Lots to do today. Decorating needs to get finished and stuff cleaned up for the party Thursday evening. We finished decorating the big tree for family night tonight. Every year when I open the boxes of ornaments so many memories come flooding back to my mind. From the very first ornaments David and I ever had together to last year's homemade school ornaments the kids make. It is always a big deal for the kids to find their baby ornaments. And of course the pickle. I hang that one last and hide it so they can find it. The first one to find it gets a treat. Last year it was hidden so well that no one found it even when we took the tree down. When David threw the tree outside the pickle went crashing out with it. New pickle for this year:) Today mattered because tradition mattered.
