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)

Decking the Halls

The kids have been begging and begging to put up the tree, but we've been so busy the last couple of weeks.  But we finally got around to pulling the boxes out of the attic and the kids did all the hard work.

They sorted the branches into the various sizes while Ruby supervised.

They worked together as a team to put the branches into the pole.  It was an excellent afternoon for teamwork and not a peep of bickering!

I love the tippy toes back there.

More tippy toes.  This girl was determined to do every bit as much as her brother!

I helped get the top on and then two strands of lights.  After that, the kids did everything and hung almost every single ornament we had packed away.  Little Horse supervised, too.
