Our First Christmas Tree

(By JPC)

Most other years, Lori and I have gotten a small table top tree, but since we knew Ellie would love it, this year we decided to get a great big tree for the first time! As predicted, Ellie loves it!

"I'm freezing."

"Could we please just pick a tree and go home?"

Although she didn't enjoy the Christmas tree shopping as much as we did, she was fascinated by the fact that we drove home with it on top of our car.

After much laughter, we finally get the tree off the car and into our house...with a little help from a neighbor who took pity on us!

Once the tree was up, Ellie hung the first ornaments.

I love my tree!!
