New Year's Winter Tree

I wasn't quite ready to take down the tree.  It was so pretty this year.  I finally have white lights, enough decorations to cover the tree and kids, who will for the most part, leave the decorations alone.  It was beautiful.
And, because it's a live, dead tree it's so messy to get outside.
Two reasons to leave it up for a few more days.
But, it is no longer Christmas.  So, now our tree is a New Year's tree.
We spent the evening cutting out colorful snowflakes.
The kids had a great time!
It was great to spend some time together that didn't involve a screen or going somewhere.
 We just stayed home, were together with no fighting and we talked.
It was heavenly!
And the mess was worth it.
 In the end, we had another beautiful tree with a new life.
