First of Many.

Last year, when the Christmas holiday was all wrapped up and packed away for another year, my boys informed me that "next year" they would really like to have their very own little tree in their bedroom where they could do their own celebrations whenever they wanted.

Well, Mama delivered. I traipsed my little self right through the woods with Dad, and I pruned me a nice little Booker boy tree for them to have for their very own. And yesterday, we decorated and celebrated, and had ourselves our very first Christmas party put on completely by my two largest hoolies.

At approximately 6:00 p.m., a sign was put on the door with strict instructions of no-one entering. There was a fluster and a flurry of activity, and then we were very solemnly escorted into the bedroom and told exactly where to sit.

I gave each boy their own roll of scotch tape and their own roll of wrapping paper, and they have gone to town! Cheap fun, I tell you...

Sweet little gifts were given out to each one of us with soft little Christmas carols playing in the background, and it was all just really fun and cute.

And now this morning, popcorn and cider has been requested for the Christmas party that is to take place this evening.

Heavens.
I just may get all partied out before this is over!
