We are getting ready for Christmas here at the Speier household. The girls are trying their hardest to be good, and for the most part succeeding. Gaudete Sunday always seems to bring the recurrent argument of who gets to blow out the pink candle in our Advent wreath, and Audrey got her feelings hurt when Lili was unable to stifle her giggles during Audreys uber-falsetto rendition of "O Come, O Come Emmanuel" tonight, but they are doing pretty well all in all.
They girls set out their shoes for St. Nicholas to fill on his feast day.
We also got our tree. As per tradition, after the tree is trimmed, the youngest gets to crown it with the angel.
Kateri was thrilled with her task, and we thought she was able to grasp the concept of what she was supposed to do...
...maybe she just wanted to give her Daddy's arms a workout...
...but once she got up there she just kept putting the angel on and pulling it off again while we all begged her to leave it on top of the tree.
She just couldn't let go.
So finally Daddy had to give his arms a break...
... and Audrey had to do the honors.
