It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas...

Well, we're well on our way to being decorated finally. I spent a great deal of time this weekend decorating the house. I was freezing cold, but i stayed outside anyways to hang the lights and garland. Unfortunately, i forgot to test all the lights before i hung them, and now we have a few lights here and there that don't quite work. I'm hoping that Frank can figure it out and make them work, and i don't have to tear it all down and re-do it. Every year i put more and more outside, and i'm happier and happier with it. I really don't want to have to tear it all down to fix a few lights and then have to put it all back up again.

Yup, thats Frank cutting the tree down!

And here i am with my "work" tree

We also got our tree this weekend. We made our annual hike over to Snyders tree farm, and searced and searched through the rows of trees until we found the most perfect one. We then took the trusty saw that they give you to use, and we cut that bad boy down. Our friend Mark was there with his wife Sally, and they helped us drag the tree down to the main building. There, they shake the tree quite violently and bundle it up for you. We then strapped that baby to the top of the Yukon and brought it home. This is where the fun began. We had an idea of where we wanted the tree, but we decided to wait until we actually HAD the tree to move any furniture so we knew how much space we really needed. We spent a good 30min arguing over how we were going to fit the tree and all the furniture into the computer room. Well, we finally got all the furniture set, and the tree in. We unbundled the tree, and it took up about half of our computer room! At least it's a nice tree. Now i just have to find time to decorate it. How does a new mom go about finding that time?
