Love

Our job is to love others without stopping to inquire whether or not they are worthy.
That is not our business and, in fact, it is nobody's business.
What we are asked to do is to love, and this love itself will render both ourselves and our neighbors worthy if anything can.

Thomas Merton (1915 - 1968)

Decorating the Grandmas' Christmas Tree

We drove up to the Grandmas' house for dinner and helped pull out all of the Christmas decorations from the attic.  The kids were excited to help decorate another Christmas tree!  They were also excited that there were snow flurries all day and a little bit of it on the ground.

Grandma Suzanney's Christmas cactus was in full bloom.

I stood outside on the back porch to take pics of the kids hanging ornaments on the tree.

Finding the right spot for each ornament took serious contemplation.

Not just for finding the right spot on the tree, but which ornament to hang up next?

They both just love Christmas trees so much.  I think they stare in the hopes they will find the secret to the magic of Christmas.

I think she liked all the glitter on this ornament.

Of course, she had to sing as she was decorating the tree.  Our Bean is always singing.  :)

Grandma Eloise's dog Sophie supervised from her perch on top of the sofa.

Jack curled up with Grandma Eloise.  Snickers was on her other side and Sophie wasn't far away.  Grandma Eloise is a pet magnet!
