If the hard part was finding the perfect tree, then the fun part would be decorating it. We headed over to the Smith's place on Sunday night to help decorate the Christmas tree with them. This year's colour theme for the tree was gold... and heaven help anyone who introduced another colour! We may not know much about art, but Kim knows what she likes.

Before we got the serious business of tree decoration, we had a few other items to attend to... It was also Meggie's birthday, so we had a little birthday celebration for the Megamuffin followed by a cake. Kate was presented with a lovely book of photos of herself and Laura, a wonderful keepsake that Kim had put together from the thousands of photos that have been taken over the past 12 months. Tears were shed. Again.

And then it was on to the tree. So many questions! Where should the tree go? How many lights should go on it? Who put these two similar looking ornaments near each other? What will happen if I dare use an ornament that isn't gold? Do Canadians put gifts under the tree?

In the end though, the tree looked beautiful, all gold and shiny and pretty. Thanks again for a fun night guys!
