Family Tradition

Ever since I was little, I can remember getting out the Christmas decorations the weekend after Thanksgiving and helping put the tree up. Even though we weren't in "our" home, I still got to help put up the family tree at my mom and dad's and this year, Kaden got to get in on the action. (We go artificial in our family, too many pets over the years.) Kaden would pull a tree branch out and march around the house listening to the noise it made on the floor. At each step of the way, he would clap his hands in approval. He even got the big task of putting the star on top of the tree-but needed a little assistance.
