Okay...for those of you who know me, you know this is HUGE. I bought an artificial Christmas Tree this year! I still can't believe it. After shopping and shopping for the perfect tree, and never finding it...I decided to go where I knew there would be a tree the perfect size, with perfect branches, and THE BEST PART...lights already on! Costco of course! It was awesome! I got to get right to the decorating-no chopping off the bottom, spraying off the tree, making sure it is straight, spending HOURS stringing lights perfectly on every branch. I have to say, "I LOVE IT"!!! Matt says it's the best thing since sliced bread and he fought me on it at first. I know, I know...I won't have that Christmas Tree smell, but I guess I'll just have to buy a really yummy candle now! Don't hate me because my tree is beautiful.
Off to Costco!
How scary is this? While on vacation visiting my sister-in-law somehow "extensions" came up and I said, "Like these?" and proceeded to unclip mine and take them out. Yes, I love drama. In very silly moods, we decided to try them on the kids. Spencer was a trooper and posed for these lovely "mullet" pictures. What do you think of my white-trash son? Should he change his hairstyle?
