True confessions of the non-noble buyers
Okay before I start this post I just have one question. Why on earth is it that when you are at the Christmas tree lot you pick out the most perfect tree, but by the time you get home and get it up on the stand you are blaming each other for picking the ugliest tree on the lot?? It happens every year.
Well anyways, our tree is not horrible and we are making it work, but we cannot justify buying a noble for 3 weeks and therefore we are always stuck with a douglas. Those trees do not even hold ornaments! They all fall off when you hang anything heavier than a dollar tree snowflake on it. We made it up the the front of the line with a grand and then they were gonna charge us 25 bucks and we went and put the tree back. Geez! We are super cheap people! Anyways, we had to shop for our tree at the very back of the lot.
This was Baby K's first tree and first Christmas so we couldn't be Scrooge and throw the Christmas tree out the patio door in a rage. So it is still standing in our living room and I think it's growing on me over time.
We always buy our tree from the boy scouts every year.
We have a tradition of getting our tree on top of our car and then snapping a photo... This tradition has worked great for the past 3 years... unfortunately... (scroll down)

O and hope there is no offense taken to those who love boy scouts. We have a tree because of them.

I did a little editing. Not sure if that link will work or not. And the picture still isn't great, but you can at least see the tree now. If you want an emailed format (or just can't see this one--ha) email me at saradawn12@gmail.com and I'll send it to you. =)
I loved your story line for this blog. You had me laughing (and believe me I needed a laugh this morning as I am moaning and groaning about not having enough time with all of you)about your remarks regarding boy scout skills. I think maybe a cloud passed under the sun and that is why the shot is so dark,
Hey, you are building memories and will look back and laugh at yourselves for being so buummed about one pictue.
Kiss that cutie for me. Now you have to guess which one. ;+}
