Oh Christmas Tree!


Well, over the weekend we acquired a christmas tree. It was a very fun process.


part 1


First, Ali and I grew up with different style of trees, so it was very difficlut to come to an agreement. None the less, we found one that Ali liked, and we got it.

When we got it home, we put it in a stand Ali got from her Grandma's house. We then started decorating it, and Emma was a really good helper.

When we finished, we were glad. The house looked ready for christmas, and most importantly, it smelled like it.

Well, later that night, about midnight, the tree started tipping. we realized that the stand we had wouldnt work. So, i had to go and find a stand at the springville walmart. All would have been fine, except for the fact that it took them an hour to tell me that they didnt have a tree stand.

I made the mistake of asking them to find another store that had one. thirty five minutes later they informed me that payson had one. The thing that killed me was that i could have driven to payson, orem and then back to springville, in the time it took the walmart employees to help me. So, needless to say, i got home at three in the AM. At that point, I had to lift the already decorated tree, and have ali pull out the new slide, and slip the new one in.


I am thinking about a fake tree next year.

we will upoad some pictures from our camera shortly. until then, have a great day.
