Halls Are Decked

We decorated the tree this evening. We actually purchased it on Saturday.  It's Fraser Fir.  I told Andrew I wanted one when we drove up to the tree lot and he said ok but plan on paying $90.  Every year we get a stupid white pine (no offense if anyone has one but I just wanted something different for a change). Well anyone who knows me knows that I'm not about to pay $90 for a Christmas tree.  Sure enough they wanted $90. Oh but wait. There was another row of Fraser Fir's and they were only $40. Frankly I couldn't tell the difference between the $90 tree and the $40 tree. Andrew said it was the height.  He walked down to the end of the row of "cheap" trees and reached out and selected one. It was perfect. We didn't even look at another tree.  I guess I shouldn't be shocked that the Arborist can select a perfect tree should I? Anyway we were bushed Sunday and had a Christmas concert to attend. Last night we were busy with chores so the tree had to wait to be decorated.  Andrew set up his O gauge train that belonged to his great uncle Edward around the base of the tree and that completed the decking of the halls.

 Like the new sweater that my mom got me?

 Daisy likes the tree and the attention she is getting at this moment. LOL See that little mosaic artwork in front of the poinsettia? I made it in CCD in first grade. Thanks mom for saving all my junk treasures.
