You inspire ME and Aubrey's almost an adult! M will NEVER be a "brat" and even though those teenage years WILL try you, she will NEVER forget the special touches that you and H bless her with each day...<BR/>By the way, we are the artificial tree people too- the ones with the mother that LONGS for the pine needle evergreen scent of Christmas, but her 5 crazy cats would NEVER allow such!
