We got our Christmas tree about mid month this year. Turned out to be a really miserable, wet, rainy evening. Gary was taking the skytrain home, so I picked him up after getting Elijah from daycare and we went directly to get the truck from Ed and then the tree from the lot. We get our tree from the same place every year. It's close to the house, has a good selection, and the money goes to charity. Yes, we get a live tree. I'll even admit we pay the big bucks to get a Noble Fir. It's a beautiful type of tree - good scent and loses minimal needles. That's the main reason we get it. Well, that and Gary isn't allergic to it. Anyway, we were in a bit of a rush. Had both kids and did I mention it was pouring rain? So, Elijah was very excited. We steered him over to the Noble Firs and the first tree he said he liked, we got. We paid, loaded it up and got it home. After dinner we decorated it. Elijah was very helpful. He had a great time and chatted away about it the whole time. Gary managed to snap a couple pictures between soothing Charlotte and helping out. After we got it all done Elijah posed for me with his tree. Then he sternly lectured the kitties to "not wreck" it. So cute.
Ps. Yes, after he went to bed, I redistributed the cluster of gold decorations in the bottom left hand corner. It bugged me. :D
