I am starting a new feature, Thankful Sunday. I will try to come up with something I am thankful for each week. Hopefully, I can keep up with this one.
I was thankful for J getting our Christmas tree. And for E's kayaking gloves (gloves she had cut the tips of the fingers off of allowing for dexterity along with protection) that I used to keep my hands from getting pricked to death when putting on the lights.
I am thankful for all the friends and family that joined us at the table in front of the tree this Christmas season.
I tried taking a picture of the lights through Holiday Specs that make the lights look like little gingerbread men. Pretty cute.
But I am especially thankful that E was here and willing to help take the ornaments off the tree. Because I got it too early, it was very dry and brittle by Christmas. Decorations were falling off left and right. A few broke, but that happens every year. It is my excuse to be able to buy more. Thank you E for going above and beyond, or at least down and under.
Because it was so brittle, I ended up using the loppers to cut it up in pieces to get it back out of the door.
I'm not sure the goats will even touch this one.

That's plenty to be thankful for! Today is the last day for our tree- I always try to leave it up until the Feast of the Epiphany, which is early this year. The cats have been pulling ornaments off for the last 3 days, so it's time!
Tremendous to have E's help to take it down. That was clearly a challenge.
It was a beautiful tree.
And I look forward to your new feature (something I'm thankful for :)
