Lily's Surprise

Well, it's that time of year again. Time for the Christmas tree. If you know us, you know that the tree can be, well let's just say that the tree salesmen get a very nice bonus. Anyway, this year we decided to stick to a tiny nine footer. In order to put it in the right place, we had to move Lily's toybox out of the living room. Saturday night we set up the tree so that all the snow could melt off before we tried to string the lights (I hear electricity and water don't mix). Well, we set it up after the kids were already in bed.
Sunday morning Lily walked downstairs and realized that her toy box had been moved. The ensuing conversation went like this:

Lily: Dad, why is my toybox moved?

Me: I don't know. Let's go check and see.

She walks into the living room and sees this enormous (to her) tree standing where her toybox once was.

Lily: Whoah.......wooooowww! (Her hands get outstretched by her side) This is soooo coool!!

Of all the times not to have a video camera handy. Although she really knows that Christmas is truly about Jesus Christ, the look of sheer joy on her face during this time is so precious.
