We got a Christmas tree this year! After last year’s fiasco, I was determined that we were going to do this thing the right way. Fortunately, there’s a Christmas tree farm just outside of our subdivision. So we walked down in our short sleeve shirts and flip-flops (hey, it was 68 degrees) to get our tree.
There were a few snafus–cutting down trees in warm weather is considerably less pleasant than in cold weather. The wagon broke twice on the way home. We had to get the tree up the last hill in the stroller, which meant that I had to carry Susie and drag Elizabeth while the guys steered the stroller. At home, it was rickety, so Derek had to run out and get wire to make sure it wouldn’t tip over onto the kids. But we have a real tree, and between that and the Christmas music, we’re hoping to start feeling Christmas-like soon!
That’s great!!! I love the picture of all 3 in front of the tree…precious!
Such a fun outing! It does seem weird to buy a Christmas tree when it looks so warm out. Although, I would love to wear flip-flops year round. I really like the picture of the kids in front of the tree too.
