December 1, 2013. Ridgeland, Mississippi.. Decorating the Tree.

Mint was the restaurant chosen by Kate and Mary Frances for Brunch.    I gave them the task of selecting our Sunday brunch and today was their first choice.   It was excellent.   They serve New Orleans food and the first thing we ordered even before reading the menu was two orders of Beignet.   Heaven.

Christina put the lights on the tree while Molly rested and the adults watched football.   Then we were all ready to decorate the tree.   Kate put the fragile ornaments right near the top.   Molly likes to rearrange the decorations.    We had boxes of decorations.    We worked diligently and soon the tree looked full but we still had another box so we kept finding spots.  It was fun and festive.

First Christina sat down to watch the action.  Next Kate and Mary Frances disappeared.  Finally, only Molly and I were working on the tree and when Andrew made tea,  only Molly was working.   The tree is beautiful now but still needs garlands draped around the boughs.  And all the boxes are open, sitting on the dining table, ready for Christina to find a spot in their home.

It is beginning to feel a lot like Christmas in the Andrew Dickie Family home.
