It is the first week of December and things are busy as always. We still have no tree. Probably this weekend but no guarantee. Last night we went to Home Depot to get a tree and we were going to surprise the kids with a tree. Only, they were out of almost every kind of tree except a blue spruce or something. Generally an ugly tree. There were little 3-4ft trees, nice noble firs, so we got one of them so we could play a joke on the kids. We decorated it and had them help. They were two of the most grumpy kids you have ever seen. Delaney even said it was worse than when they had to paint the living room on their Christmas vacation. We took a picture when it was all decorated and I thought it looked nice.
Today, we had the kids deliver the tree to Pop. He was surprised and excited to see his grandchildren. Now, Christmas has come to Pop's house and his tree is displayed in his front window. It looks nice, and hopefully the kids appreciate what they have done.
