The Smell of Christmas!!!!

Well first off - Daddy's home!!! Four day beard and everything! Except a deer! He didn't even see one! All on his trip came home empty handed! He returned to work only to discover that everyone that he knows came home empty handed - the weather wasn't right. At least that's their story and their stickin' to it!

Jourdyn had her band concert today at school! Grandpa and Gramma came over to see her play! This was her debut saxophone performance and she was awesome!!!! She has completely caught up with rest of the band and is even a little beyond them!!



And I finally got my live tree! It is huge! It was over 9 feet - but our living room has 9 ft ceilings! So we cut the top branch just a tad and cut off a couple inches of the trunk and voila! It fits!!!!
It is much more round than it looked at the store. When they are cold they tense up - like us! But when they get warm they sprawl out and show their true beauty! It's a douglas fir - which means that we have this awesome smell in the house. It's evergreeny but also has a orangy smell to it!

I know, I'm a freak! But I love Christmas trees! I won't get anymore until after the season - then I'll get clearanced ones - hey mom, I like the small woodsy ones they have at walmart - they are different sizes, the tallest like 2 1/2 feet. You can't hang ornaments they are meant to just sit and look cool! If you have them and they go on clearance get them for me!!! Here they are already sold out!
