There was much rejoicing at the Bee household on the day we picked up our tree. Its delightful pine scent filled the room and its 6-foot stature lent a certain festive dignity to the house. To prepare for Operation Decorate the Tree, we loaded the iPod with carols, filled our mugs with mochas and somehow all ended up in the same outfit. Don't ask me how, but we were each wearing jeans and brown tops, making us look for all the world like suburban tree elves. After three hours of hanging, clipping and appraising, the tree was finished. We saved the last ornament, a golden butterfly, for the Baby Bee, who took her task very seriously. After staring at the tree for about five minutes straight, she finally decided on the perfect spot :). The Bee family would like to thank Trees for Troops for our beautiful tree!
