Christmas Tree Finished

As previously mentioned, we shopped for a Christmas tree on Saturday. We told the girls that we were doing option #3 and they begged for us to do option #1. We told them that we did not want to hear any whining or complaining about the rain, mud or cold. They promised so they grabbed umbrellas and we started off. It wasn't raining when we got there, but we had to sit on wet hay:



As soon as the hay ride stopped in the field, I saw a couple of trees that looked good to me. Andy wanted to keep looking for a slightly taller one. We walked on back in the field and it started pouring rain. At that point, we decided that the first two that we had seen would work great and we went back to pick one:



It actually wasn't really cold out there so that was nice because I didn't really worry about us all getting sick. We got home and left the tree in the garage to dry out a little bit. After baths and showers, we ate some soup and hot chocolate before starting the decorating. Here is the finished product:



We still have to do some more decorating around the house and outside, but it is a start.
