I am usually the kind of person that is so on top of things around the holidays. I have all my decorations up on time or early and this year I am sooooo far behind. Anyway, we usually get our Christmas tree right after Thanksgiving but this year we were about a week late. We made our usual trip to Home Depot and picked out a tree that was still wrapped up! That's right, we didn't even see what the width of the tree was like, how full the branches were, or what the branches even looked like. We were totally going on faith that it would be an awesome tree, and it was. It is a pretty good looking little tree.
Needless to say I am now finally done decorating, getting the tree up and am pretty close to being done getting all the family gifts together that we need this year. I still haven't gotten any stocking stuffers or any of Travis' gifts yet though! Ahhhh, I better hurry! Oh yeah, and I still need to get my Christmas cards out! I usually have them out the first week of December, what is wrong with me this year!!
Oh well, here are some pictures of our tree shopping.
I make him do that every year. He loves it! Ha!
Too bright!
Us in the tree lot of Home Depot
This is the first year that we didn't have access to a truck so we had to strap it down on the roof of our car. Travis did a great job of tying it down and he made us turn on our hazard lights the whole way home while going about 25mph all the way! It was quite the adventure!
Getting the tree in the stand.
Freddie, inspecting the tree! He has been doing a great job so far this year, he has not once knocked it over or knocked any ornaments off. He just likes to sleep or hide under it, so does Darko, so cute!
