o christmas tree, o christmas tree

i had such a great day on monday and i am just blogging about it now. life is especially busy in december, isn't it? i was hanging out with audrey and i got a call from dave asking if i would like to go and see the lights at thanksgiving point when he got home from work. i was so excited because it was snowing for the first time this month and i was ready for all things christmas. he also said that i couldn't meet him at the door when he got home but i had to wait until he came upstairs. again, it is december, so i didn't think much of it. he came home and walked upstairs and asked where audrey was. she was napping and had been asleep for two hours so he went to wake her up. he said audrey had something special to give me and they went downstairs and brought up a box. before dave pulled out the present, he told me that this gift was from audrey. he had (with some prompting from audrey i am told) this woman make this ceramic tree for me from the same mold that the tree that my mom, nana and aunt rosemary had when i was growing up. i have always loved this tree. it reminds me of christmas as a child and i am excited that audrey will have the same decoration as she grows up. it was so sweet. it made me cry (in a good way). we went and got hot chocolate at sev and went to look at the lights. it was such a great day and i have been so excited for christmas since.
