Christmas Tree

We were in St. Louis for Thanksgiving, and the girls both got sick (they ended up having Scarlet Fever - who knew that was still a thing?).

While we were gone, Christopher and Christina arrived bearing matching pajamas for the whole family.

Before I knew it was scarlet fever, we decided to go get a Christmas tree on Sunday night. This is our first real tree, so I was very excited. We left our house approximately 30 minutes before the lot closed (maybe less), so it was a good thing the farm was practically next door to us.

We opted for a pre-cut tree, and I have to say that I'm thrilled with the results. The poor girls weren't feeling well, but they were little troopers.

I love having a real tree (other than having to remember to water it:).
