Our Christmas tree goes up today! by Will Richardson | Dec 9, 2004 | Whitewater | 0 comments December 9, 2004 There is nothing like putting up the Christmas tree to put you in the Christmas spirit. A Bing Crosby Christmas CD playing on the stereo, a glass of wine, Christmas cookies, and a quiet evening of decorating the tree is good for the spirit. The littlest Jackson got to put the top on the tree with the help of a step ladder, while the cat enjoyed a little indoor camping action. Moe has since claimed the area under the tree as his bed, but will be displaced by presents soon. Dane anxiously awaits Santa, a benefit of homeschooling, while Emily enjoys being the "older sister in the know". We don’t have the Christmas weather here at Rock Island, at 60 degrees and another 2+" of rain last night already (my rain gauge broke, so I don’t know what we have). This Christmas, our trip to Australia is our primary gifts, but I’m sure Santa will not forget the Jackson ranch, since Dane and Emily were good children this year. 🙂 EJ Dane finishing the Tree Kristine and Moe watching from the couch Emily and Dane decorating Submit a Comment Cancel replyYour email address will not be published.
