Oh! Christmas Tree!

Our Christmas Tree acquisition was put off by one day due to snow, but we went out into the freezing cold to walk around Lowe's and choose from 100 trees that all looked the same. It was amazingly cold so I took the kids back into the store while Kris randomly picked a tree and paid for it. Then came the hard part...

Lowe's will carry the tree to your car, but they won't tie it on. Neither Kris nor I had gloves on and as as I mentioned before, it was ridiculously cold, so we tried to tie the tree to the top of our little Kia as fast as we could. We only live 10 minutes away so it didn't have to be super tight, but we still were concerned with losing the tree and having it run over by the car behind us.

We drove really slowly but the tree started sliding to the side. We stopped and grabbed some of the tree netting and closed it into the door so that it was still kinda sideways, but no longer sliding.

We got the tree inside, cut the netting off, and started to decorate. With each ornament she put on, Ella asked, "Now can I open my presents?" Both kids enjoyed seeing their ornaments and both had to compare their baby foot ornament to their current foot size.
