O Christmas Tree

 Before I met Lee, I had a great looking artificial tree.  I pulled it out of the attic and set it up each year on the Sunday after Thanksgiving.  In about twenty minutes, I had a Christmas tree full of lights.  Lee came along and insisted on a real tree each year.  At first I wasn't sure how I felt about real trees (putting the lights on each year, the pine needles everywhere, etc...) but now I love the look and smell and just the feel of a real tree.  So, today we went out in search of our real Christmas tree.  Because it is Caroline's first tree and first everything where Christmas is concerned, I had this vision of us wandering around at a tree farm while we carefully selected the very best tree.  Instead, after convincing Lee that the Lowe's parking lot was not what I had in mind for this momentous occasion, we wound up at Country Boys, which was a good compromise.  

Of course, by the time we agreed on a location, Caroline had a massive diaper explosion.  Without a spare outfit in the diaper bag, I changed her in the car, and had to put the dirty pants back on her.  She didn't seem to mind, so we even took some time to check out the Christmas decorations in the store. We couldn't stay too long- the poopy pants were starting to smell!!

Having some fun at Country Boys store! 

Seriously guys??  

We may not have been sipping hot chocolate in the back of a wagon searching the woods for the perfect tree to cut down ourselves, but we did end up with a great looking tree for Caroline's first Christmas!
