We said "Night Night" to the tree one last time tonight. We all seem to get a little sad at taking it down. I know many people can't wait to put it all away and get back to their routines after the holidays. Not me, I love my tree and I love to stare at all the ornaments especially at night. I also love the holiday break and not having to get up early for school and shuffle out the door. But it's time...I plan to take the tree down once the kids go to school (which happens tomorrow) so I don't have them around while I get the ornaments all packed up. My daughter will be especially sad to see the tree gone. She gets quite attached. I often find her and her brother doing this:

So tomorrow we get back to the weekly routine...ahhh, blah...
But never fear, as I saw today in the grocery store, Valentines Day is coming...
So there, something to keep us looking toward the next holiday and distract us from the after Christmas blues. It's on to the next one...
Signing off with a few pictures of my favorite ornaments-
