Oh Christmas Tree, Oh Christmas Tree

Last night we decorated the Christmas tree. We did drive by and look at the live trees at the BX and they looked a little old already and we heard that after just a week or so they will be very dry. Plus, we heard that sometimes the trees get bugs in them on the boat over here, so we just decided to stick with our fake tree this year. It will be nice not having to remember to water it and not having to vacuum up needles everyday with a newborn baby. Anyway, we never thought the day would come when we would have a fake tree, but we really like the tree and it is very pretty! We played some Christmas music, drank hot cocoa, and had some Christmas cookies too!
