Finally we went and picked out a tree. A short fat little stubby tree.

It will be Joy’s first Christmas and I don’t think she has a clue what is about to come. We took her tree shopping and let her touch the trees. She didn’t seem to care.

I suppose it won’t be long and she will be more excited for Christmas than us but for now we are more excited about Christmas because of our new little family.

It has always been my favorite time of year. I never really liked decorating the tree but I liked going to pick one out. It was exciting and you could smell the pine, breath the crisp air and fight with tying down the tree to the car.
