A few weeks ago I looked at Anna and said, um, you know, we have room, maybe...maybe we could get a Christmas tree? You know, just a small one... And she replied, Oh no, we're getting a big one! So yesterday was perfect Christmas tree shopping weather, all grey and cold, and Anna, Lindsey, and I set out to find one. We set up the tree, strung some lights, had a couple classmates over for a psuedo-fancy dinner party, then drank hot chocolate and wine and listened to Christmas music and finished trimming the tree. I couldn't think of a better day.
