We had planned to get our tree over the weekend and when we saw the weather report for snow, we decided that Friday would be the day. Our plan was to run our errands in the morning, grab Costco hot dogs for lunch, pick up Lovey from school, and eat in the car as we drove to the tree farm. We only accomplished most of our errands and when I went in to pick up Lovey he told me he had a headache. Now Lovey says he has headaches a lot, but today he told his teacher and was mopey. I was a little worried, but he said he wanted to get the tree.
Now all morning it had been raining hard and the wind was blowing. The rain let up when we reached the farm, but it was so cold and the wind was blowing really hard. It was muddy and Littlebit had a great time stomping through the mud until she fell. We finally found our tree and I wanted to take the kids picture by it, but Littlebit was mad because it was cold and kept running off. I spent most of the time chasing her while Lovey waited to shout timber. Littlebit cried about her "owie hand" (her hands were freezing) as we were pushed by the wind back to our car.
We bought new LED lights for the tree this year, but each one was a slightly different color. The color gets warmer as you go down the tree. One hundred feet of lights was not enough for my 6 foot tree, so we had to add some regular lights too, again a different shade of white. Hmmm... We have a lot of ornaments, which I love and when I look at them I remember the story to them and how special they are. I refrained from telling too many of the stories, but hubby just smiles and nods politely when I do.
Now the tree is finished and beautiful.
