Happy New Year & Goodbye Christmas Tree

We rang in the new year intimately in our cozy home, just Jason, Michael, Carmel and me. It was the quietest new year's celebration ever because Michael had a slight cold, but we made the most of it. He was a trooper and stayed up til 1:30 in the morning.

Since our Christmas tree started to dry out and droop significantly, it was time to pack up our decorations, and say goodbye to it. Michael did a great job undressing the tree and packing up the ornaments. He was such a fantastic helper! When we were all done, he didn't want to part with the tree. He wanted to give it one last big hug before we said goodbye. Thank you tree for making our house look so festive and smelling so pretty! We already miss you so much.

Bye bye my first 8ft tree!
