We started our day by taking down the tree. Cash was NOT happy about this. Before it came down I snapped a picture of him with his first advent calender. This was way more fun for all of us then I ever imagined it would be. It's by Eric Carle and it's a pop up Santa and tree and each day he opened up and ornament that went on the tree. Some days there were "gifts" that went in the boxes under the tree. Cash really got into "opening a number". It was our after dinner event!
Taking down the tree I tried to be as organized as possible. I put all my barbie ornaments away in their boxes and yes there are a lot of them. My Grandma Smith has been getting me the Hallmark Barbie for years now. Mom suggested I take a picture of them all so I did. Jake says pretty soon we are going to have to have a separate "Barbie Tree". Hahaha.
It's CRAZY cold here. Like I think the high was 15. So in the evening it's about 0. The dogs are none too impressed about this. They know they are not allowed on the couches or chairs (unless my mom or Greg are here) but it was so cold that just sat and stared at me, and looked so sad, and before I knew it, I had this......
Buzz went to bed, late but there was no way he was staying up for the ball drop. The rest of us actually did manage to stay up and see Dick Clark do the count down. I have to say I was so impressed. It was sad yet so special and almost inspirational to see him there. That man is such an icon and even after all his health issues he still managed to make it for the for the "main event". I'm glad I got to see it one more time and truly appreciate it. So here we come 2011, ready or not.......
