Maggie Anne was so upset last night as her grandmother started to take down her Thanksgiving decorations. She was sobbing to me that they were just so beautiful and that she was going to miss them. I told her that there would be new even prettier Christmas decorations going up in their place.

This began a whole new set of crying. She told me that the new decorations were going to be prettier than her and that made her sad. I assured her that nothing would be prettier than her. That made her feel a little better.
