After we saw Santa at BPS, we headed over to Lowe's to grab a Christmas Tree!
(The cheap/easy way this year)
We looked around for the one we wanted to take home.
And then we quickly choose one when the employees urged us to hurry since they were closing the garden center doors in a few minutes... ha. But we found this one and it would work just fine.
Derek set it on top of the car.
Then Cooper helped tie it down.
He was pretty happy about his first time doing this job.
Tied down or not, it was rolling around a little. Or maybe we could just tell it was since we could see it through the sun roof. So Derek opened the sun roof and held on to it when needed... ha.
We got home and rearranged the living room just slightly to make room...
And Derek carried the tree inside.
The boys helped get it in the stand. Derek was a good sport. His annual quote about his task is: "This is such a mess." :) And after last years tree trauma, I was just hoping it didn't tip over. Twice.
While Derek finished, the rest of us moved on to hot cocoa.
Or at least whipped cream.
And applying tattoos acquired from Santa.
Tree up, standing and ready for decorations!
But it was bedtime so that would have to wait.
