Operation: Christmas Tree

For the past 5 holiday seasons, Scott and I have had the tradition of going to Home Depot to pick out our Christmas tree. I know that sounds funny. Every year, when we get compliments on our tree we always say...it came from Home Depot. We always get a chuckle out of people. So on Saturday morning we loaded up Maddie and Liam and headed down to Home Depot. When we arrived it was snowing pretty hard so Liam hung out in the hot house with the nice Home Depot worker.

Here is Maddie hugging the Christmas tree that she helped us pick out. I guess she loved it so much because when I asked her to stand by the tree so I can take her picture she asked me if she could hug the tree. It just so happened that the very first Scotch Pine that we saw was the perfect tree for us.

This is the finished product...I can't wait to hang out in the family room tonight and enjoy the Christmas lights. (And the lights are scarce this year because 3 of our strands didn't work when Scott plugged them in.)
