Undecorating

Does anything make a house seem emptier than taking down the Christmas decorations? Mom and I are trying to repack all of the Christmas deocrations into the boxes they came out of. Except it never seems to fit the same.

We just received an update on my cousin Zach. He had surgery today on his pelvis and broken wrist. Everything went well. He will have to wear a brace on his pelvis for the next 6-8 weeks until it heals. They put 3 pins into his wrist to hold it together, but the doctors were very happy on the way it went. Please keep him in your prayers as it is still a long way to recovery.
