Yes, this was a memorable tree year. Grace "helped" us pick it out by keeping good watch on the inside of her eyelids as we walked the lot. We fell in love with the first fir we saw, but perused the others, just so they wouldn't feel insulted. We were tired on this Sunday after Thanksgiving, but we decided to keep our eyes open long enough that night to dress the tree modestly--no indecent trees in our house! Gracie, of course, was in bed by this time, so again, her "help" was much appreciated. We were quite satisfied with the attire we put on the tree, and went to bed humming Christmas carols. We LOVE Christmas season!
The next morning, because of our late night decorating, we were running late getting out of the house. Just as we were flying out the door--with bundled baby, brimming diaper bag, lunches, and don't forget the Peppermint Coffee to-go--we remembered to water the tree.
All of our overflowing Christmas spirit was SQUISHED out of us as we walked around the living room corner to see our decked-out tree...LYING ON THE GROUND.
Great. Merry STINKIN' Christmas.
Needless to say, we were a bit later for work that Monday morning than we thought we were going to be. The funniest thing about this is that Gracie's first sighting of a decorated tree was one that was laying on the ground! :) It looks great now--sitting more stably in its stand--and we REALLY got to think about ornament placement, as we had a "redo" Monday morning, so everything looks JUST SO. More pics to come! :)
