O Christmas Tree

Jeff insisted we get a Christmas tree on Thursday, which just happened to be the day that he got home from a week long business trip and still had to go to work till 5, the day that I had a Primary meeting from 6:30-8:30p.m. and the day that Jeff had a scouting meeting from 6:45-8:45p.m. I didn't really understand why we had to get a Christmas tree on this busy day, but I am happy that we did because the weekend was pretty hectic and I have no idea when we would have squeezed it in.

As soon as Jeff got home from work, we loaded up and went to the only tree lot where we live. We went to this exact same lot last year and thinking back, I wasn't too fond of it. The guy who helped us out with the tree reeked of alcohol and was slurring words left and right. And, this year proved to be the same, but with a different guy. Kamryn picked a 9 footer and the guy tried to sell us a 13 footer instead, Jeff asked if they sold higher ceilings to go with the tree. I don't know if the guy got that Jeff was teasing him, which made Jeff tease him even more. I was cracking up the whole time.

After dropping the tree off at home, we each went to our meetings. Then when we got home we let the girls stay up till 11 p.m. while we decorated the tree and our house for Christmas. When it was all done, I turned out all the lights and Jeff rocked both girls to sleep by the Christmas tree while he sang them Christmas songs...so sweet.
