Uncle Mistletoe and Aunt Holly Have Arrived....Christmas is a GO

The more ornaments went on last night the more I relished the fact that my headache of several days was finally fading. There is nothing better than decorating the tree (s) with my boys.

Owen was the one that found the box with the Uncle Mistletoe and Aunt Holly (whom Owen kept calling Aunt Polly which I rather liked since that was my mother's name). He stated that from now on whoever finds that box and unwraps the ornaments gets good luck for the year. There was celebrating when they found the Dunkin Doughnut ornaments and me being me, I kept saying, "OH, that was one of grandma's favorites" or "LOOK, this was one of Aunt Judi's" or just plain "OH I LOVE this one". I may drive them crazy with these things but I can't help myself....it helps to keep them alive within our family memories.
