Decorating the Christmas Tree

Our family tradition continued this year with our tree selection and purchase in the Gator Golf parking lot.  After stringing the lights, the boys and I started with the decorations. 

I was reminded again of the differences between boys and girls.  Decorating the tree was a much different experience with these boys than I remember as a youth.  For them it's all about "how quickly can we get them up and get the job done?".  When I have decorated it by myself, I spent time with each decoration-- taking a little trip down memory lane.  This year, it was done in about 10 minutes!
