Lindsey and I have been room mates for 3 and a bit years, and yet we have never had a Christmas tree before. This is because we were students and students always left weeks before Christmas. Not this year though. We are both here right up to the holiday, so we thought we would grace our house with a real tree. We bought our tree from some guy who sets up shop in a parking lot and makes his whole year's wage in the month of December, and who wears lumberjack coats. You know the type. It was only a kilometer walk, so we walked it home. Only a few people looked at us oddly. And we only laughed a little. This is what we looked like carrying it. It is also the view from our living room window.
 It is actually standing, and while it looks sort of Charlie Brownish, we love it. And we turned it so the front part is more full looking.  Ta Da. Decorated. But not completely, because I am waiting for a package to come in the mail with my ornaments from home.  |
o Hillary thats a nice tree. Good for you to carry it home, I was hoping you would do just that. Did your decorations arrive yet?
Our tree looks pretty fine considering you girls took most of the decorations!
Can wait to see you. Love mom
