Putting the tree up for Christmas

Nothing says that holiday season like getting the tree set up.  We like to make the event a family affair.  We all pitch in and help, but there are traditional roles we all usually take on. 
1. Matt lifts.  He also encouraged the kids to help lift. 
2. The big kids fuss.  They don't want to touch the tree.
3. I move furniture. 
4. Cecilia cries because no one was paying attention to her.
5. Harper tries to look busy holding her towel so she doesn't have do do with Matt is making the big kids do. 
6. Matt brings in the tree stand.  He encourages the big kids to lie on the floor and tighten the bolts around the tree.
7. The big kids fuss that the bolts are difficult to tighten. Needles are falling on them. Harper doesn't have to do anything.
8. I get the vacuum.
9 Cecilia calms down with a snack.
10. Harper moves into the other room to find another towel. 
11.  Matt tightens all the bolts. 
12.  I give Matt a big hug.
