O' Christmas Tree

Yesterday we "got" our tree. We had plans to go cut one but with Basketball starting just before Thanksgiving we didn't have a good day to go hunt one down. So the next best thing...buy one from the kids at school doing a fundraiser! They took the time to go cut trees to sell. I like our little tree. Shawn likes it too, although he was quick to point out that it doesn't look the same as the one in the magazine. THAT'S the beauty of it...real trees aren't perfect. I had it set up yesterday ready to put lights on. Shawn was heart broken to think that I would decorate the tree with out dad here. (He was gone at games) We waited until today to finish. Rod introduced Shawn to one of the classics, White Christmas, while Shawn had a ball deciding where the ornaments would go. I love it!

Love your tree -- the favorite part of the holidays for me is putting up my decorations and listening to the music blare! Fun, fun....

Great tree, and I love that you got it for a fundraiser. I usually don't like fundraisers but I would totally buy a tree.
