We got our Christmas tree the other night. It was kinda weird because we purchased it from Lowes. We have ALWAYS gotten our tree from a lot. Welcome to Lubbock yet again! The one good thing was, I have never bought a tree for only $20 before. So, we are grateful for that. Livi and I had fun (the boys stayed home) picking out a tree and, okay, arguing a little bit over which one to pick!! Then we drove home extra slow so the tree wouldn't blow off the car or get there transformed into just a big branch on top of the car. I'm sure the other drivers thought we were nuts for going so slow!
The tree is small, but so are the ceilings in our house. It is still about a foot too short, but we love it anyway. We have put it in the window and decorated it. I have A LOT of ornaments left over! We will just have to use them another time.
A small pile of presents is growing under the tree too. Thank you so much for those of you that have sent them! And for those of you that have given us the gift of survival this past year - we give you a resounding THANK YOU too!
The tree is very cute and you should be proud of it. It looks very nice and hope you enjoy it. I think Rick mentioned you got packages from Charlene and hope it was some stuff you would like. Counting the days. 1st Christmas, then San Antonio. Then New Years Eve. Wow. What a finish to the year. Love to all, Saint and Shirley
