Saturday morning we headed out to find a Christmas tree. We knew from searching last year just to go to the Home Depot close to our house. The Christmas tree places were all so expensive and honestly the trees weren't even that good.
So after running errands we made the stop to pick out a tree. When we got there they hardly had anything, we were really disappointed, but we saw there was a huge truck behind the lot and we had a feeling it was full of trees so we decided after Bo's nap we would come back. Before we left we ventured inside to look around because I can't go to any store without just "looking", even Home Depot! After we had been inside a while we came out and noticed they were unloading the truck so we thought we'd wait a few minutes just to see. Next thing we knew they were unloading 6-7ft Noble Fir Trees, which is exactly what I wanted! We opened one up and I thought it was absolutely beautiful. I kept thinking it looked larger than 6-7, I think it's more 7-8, but we had them cut the trunk so it came down some. Put it this way Jarrod is 6'5 and it was at least a foot taller than him. So what do you do when you have almost an 8ft tree and you're in your Honda Accord...you tie it to the top of course (oh how Jarrod loved me for this one). Thank goodness I have a wonderful, loving, and very patient husband!!!
They are NOT plugged in and I know we weren't doing good jobs as parents, BUT it kept him out of the tree! We'll start electrical lessons tomorrow.
The star is crooked, but we had to bend the very top branch so the star would fit!
Trying to get him to sit still for a picture..yea right??
Hence the reindeer
HHMMMmm...that looks like a fun ball to play with (I later had to move it)
