The Tree












We went after football to pick up a tree. Let me back up and say that after I payed for football and collected a muddy Joe, we headed to the nursery to pick out this years tree. With 5 pounds in my pocket, the kids and I looked at literally ALL of the tress. We tired out the chocolates, had some cocoa, petted the elves horse and finally chose one. We went to pay, handed our school voucher, and the man told me he did not accept credit cards. Oops. He did not want one of the kids for deposit :) He told me to come back in the morning and pay, and loaded up the tree. This year it fit in the car.

We had a good time decorating it. Anastasia did crush a few red ball ornaments, so the remaining ones are more evenly spread out. We played Christmas carols and decorated. Joe even vacuumed up the tree droppings.

I like your tree, you guys did a great job. We hope to get ours today and decorate it later on. We had some snow and we'll have to see if they closed any roads before we make our plans.. Give Anastasia a big hug from me.
