This morning after breakfast, Erin and I got back to work on the Christmas tree. We had been working a while when we heard a knocking at our front door. And, there stood some little munchkins from next door! They wanted to play with Erin, but we told them that we were working on the tree and needed to get it finished. Since they wanted to play with Erin, they decided to pitch in so Erin would get finished more quickly! And, what great helps they were, too! All ornaments were off and they still had time to play a little. Woody walked four miles today. He and Erin took all the ornament boxes upstairs and then they brought the tree box down. Erin and I made soup this afternoon. Later in the afternoon, Graham, Abigail, Joy, Esther, and Elijah came over to play while their parents and Isaac went to get Isaac's one-year photo taken. They had a great time playing. Nathan, Kathy, and Isaac came home with super pictures...amazing that one can go get a photo taken and walk out with it the same day...nice! They headed home and we sat down and had soup for supper. After supper, Erin and I took the tree apart and got it into the box. Erin and Goosey (Woody) took the tree box upstairs...not an easy feat! I'm glad that Erin was here to help Woody! Erin has done her wash today. She went down to get her clothes out of the drier and when I came into the living room after cleaning up the kitchen, there she sat playing a game on my iPad with the clothes basket in her lap! Guess she got distracted from the task at hand! I have the vacuum in the living room so am going to go back downstairs and vacuum where the tree has been and then get Erin and/or Woody to help me move the glider love seat back into place. Erin said that the room really looked empty! And, it will look strange for a while till I get used to seeing the house without all the decorations. But, I can now say that "things" are getting back to "normal!" And, it is only a month and a day after Christmas!
