"Indeed, LouAnn," he smiled, looking a little bit like a little kid again at the prospect of tree decorating. "I take it you've done a lot of tree decorating in your life," he looked back at her as he moved to stand up again.
LouAnn simply stood around, watching and waiting, while Mister Masterson moved here and there. She leaned down and examined the soil he was patting. Merlin, she hoped the plant was potted correctly! It wouldn't do for her to have messed up something so important! She was relieved when he moved on to another topic---decorating the tree. She assumed she had, thank goodness, potted it the right way.
Her face fell a little and she shook her head no. "Actually, I haven't, so I was sort of hoping you'd say that we could," she reported. With all the moving around her family tended to do, things like decorating a Christmas tree were often overlooked. She perked up, though, and smiled at the groundskeeper. "Excellent! Any particular decorating styles?"
