Oh Christmas Tree...

Last Friday, we went and bought our Christmas tree. We've gotten our tree from Home Depot the last bunch of years (at least 6), and this year was no different.

On the way there, I drove on the streets instead of the freeway, so we could see Christmas lights on the houses. And of course, we're listening to KOST 103.5, our home for holiday music on the radio.



This is my "which one?" pose.

Loading up the tree. The back is big enough, that 95% of the tree fits inside the van, and we just let the tip hang out.

We decorated it Saturday afternoon.

I picked one with a long trunk at the bottom. That makes for plenty of room under the tree. Next week sometime, Anna will put our Christmas train out under the tree. The kids are excited for that.

Long trunk! What a great idea.

I like the longer trunk too, but that extra 12 inches cost us an extra $5. We could probably get the same effect putting it on a box.

Either way, it's a nice tree.
