So Sunday, we went with another couple and their three kids to Greenville to cut down a Christmas tree. This is our first year with a real tree and I am hoping to start a tradition. We get in their car and they have wireless headphones and a dvd player. I put the headphones on Eli thinking he would immediately pull them off but he was mesmorized. I think we have struck gold and found the secret to keeping him quiet and entertained.
We get to the farm and ride a hayride out to the field. My original goal was to get at least an 8' tree. I ended up with something like 0 1/2 or 11'!!!! They were just so big and beautiful I couldn't help it. I also bought 10' of garland to go on our fireplace. I chose 10' just because I didn't know how much I needed. We also had to buy a tree stand too. So we spent enough money to almost successfully give Charles and heart attack and then headed home. See attached pic for Eli's choice of tree.

p.s. It is now Thursday and we have only succeeded in putting the lights on the tree. I usually have everything up by the weekend after Thanksgiving! I am so ashamed!
