Christmas is in the air

This afternoon my sweet Sofia helped me decorate the Christmas tree. I was very happy she did. Although I love having Christmas decorations in the house Lionel doesn't really care, so more often than not putting the tree up ends up being a lonely affair. I was particularly glad she helped because it cheered both of us up. She was sad because "her friends" told her she couldn't play with them today, and I was sad for her. When she came back home with her sad little face, I immediately fell in despair right there with her.

Nothing drains my happiness faster or deeper than seeing one of my girls get hurt. And nothing makes me as immediately happy as seeing the sadness melt away.
