Sorry, I stole the line from "National Lampoon's Christmas Vacation"
Shane got us a beautiful Noble Fir tonight on the way home from work. A little less nostalgic than the year we rode up a mountain in the back of a pickup truck with my Aunt Brenda and Cousin Melissa to pick a tree from the Oregon forest! Still, it will do for us.
The kids had a great time helping us "test" strands of lights. They also loved looking at all the ornaments and hearing stories about them. They did a really good job getting the ornaments on this year. I didn't have to help them much, they're getting the hang of it ;-) The tree looks beautiful. We are almost all done decorating inside for the holidays. Shane (aka Clark Griswold II) is working on the outdoor light display. As long as he doesn't fall off the roof, we'll be ok!
I have almost all my Christmas shopping for the kids done. That is huge. Now I can start on everyone else too.
I hope you are all having a wonderful, blessed holiday season so far!
Love,
Susan

Gorgeous! And the tree looks good, too. ;)
I love it! The shape of the tree is great. The kids look happy and you look wonderful too.
Oh, so nice!! :) I've never had a "real" tree, so I'll have to come and live through yours.
